Warning: crazy people on the loose.
STLtoday – News – Metro East:
CARBONDALE, Ill. – For two years, Carbondale residents have been riveted by the writing of a little girl imploring her father in Iraq: “Don’t die, OK?”Only now are they learning there was never any danger of that.
The Daily Egyptian, Southern Illinois University’s student-run newspaper, today will admit to its readers that the saga – of a little girl’s published letters to her father serving in Iraq – was apparently an elaborate hoax perpetrated by a woman who claimed to be the girl’s aunt.
I hope this crazy woman, Colleen Hastings, somehow comes to realize not only the heinousness of any such hoax, but the total insult this particular hoax she perpetrated is to all the real children of real soldiers in Iraq and elsewhere in the world.
