As more and more Americans become addicted to taxpayer-funded benefits, many will do anything to keep the money pouring in (and to keep themselves from working harder) — including breaking the law and defrauding the system.
Case in point: Here we have an upstate New York woman who kept her decomposed 93-year-old mother’s body for over a year so she could continue collecting her mother’s benefits.
Louise Sira, the district attorney for Fulton County, New York, told The Associated Press that 60-year-old Mary Kersting has pleaded guilty to grand larceny, as well as improper disposal of human remains.
Police had been called to check on the welfare of Hope Fuller, Kersting’s mother, and found her decomposed body on December 29, 2014 in her apartment in Gloversville, about 40 miles northwest of Albany. Authorities said she died in October 2013 from unknown causes. Kersting lived in an apartment above hers.
Following her arrest, Kersting admitted she defrauded the government of more than $13,000 in Ruller’s Social Security and pension benefits. She also told police she never called anyone to get medical care for her mother or to remove her deceased body. Now she faces jail time when she next appears in court in November.
