Bad mother, who faked her own daughter's death, in order to get some time off. Total depravity.

Some may had lied, or exaggerated their children's medical condition not to attend work for a day, but to go along to claim that one of their children has died in order to get time off, it's just going too far!!!

A New Yorker mom did just that, faked her own daughter's death in order to go down to Costa Rica, for a "well deserved" vacation as it seems. Time reports on this obnoxious news:

We all need a vacation sometimes. Some of us, however, are apparently more willing than others to do anything – truly anything – to get one. In March 2010, New York City school employee Joan Barnett decided she wanted to extend her spring break in Costa Rica. A simple solution presented itself: fake her daughter’s death.Foolproof, right?Joan Barnett, a parent coordinator at the Manhattan High School of Hospitality Management, had one of her daughters contact the school and explain that her sister had suffered a fatal heart attack in Costa Rica. Naturally, then, Barnett would be forced to hop on a plane and attend the funeral.

The worst of all, is that she included her own daughter in the scheme as well. She couldn't do it by her self, but involved other in her scheme. 

It is a good thing that the city officials weren't fooled:

Soon, Barnett indeed found herself soaking up the sun, enjoying a vacation that lasted two and a half weeks. She even faxed a forged death certificate to her employer, as required if a city school employee requests time off for bereavement. But school officials grew wary, eventually contacting city investigators who determined that the certificate’s identification numbers linked to a man who had died in 2005. When confronted, Barnett continued to uphold the elaborate ruse, even presenting a new death certificate altogether.In addition to her credibility, Barnett ultimately lost her job, which paid $37,000 a year. When the case eventually went to court this past fall, she pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor.Somehow, a spring break spent stuck at home doesn’t seem so bad after all.

Incredible, she put her children's well being for just getting off work a couple of weeks. She deserves not only a fine and possible jail time, but her remaining children should be taken away from her. What's next? Killing one of them in order to collect some insurance money?
