Ohio mom faked son's terminal cancer to bilk cash and gifts

An Ohio mom faked her young son having terminal brain cancer to bilk cash and gifts from friends, family and good Samaritans, police said. Emily Creno-King, 31, allegedly shaved 4-year-old JJ's head to make people — and himself — think he was about to die from the "incurable" disease. She forced him to wear a surgical mask and set up Facebook groups to ask kind-hearted strangers to chip in for his treatment, it's claimed. The scam was even allegedly kept secret from her estranged husband — JJ's father John — who's since said he gave medicine to his healthy child when he visited on weekends.
