The story of thePennsylvania
woman who told police that she paid $1,000 for a baby has a taken a turn for
the worse. Tragically, it appears that the dark suspicions of some commenters to
my first story about Andrea Curry-Demus (pictured) were well founded: police have found a
woman's body in Curry-Demus’ apartment. A placenta Soccer was discovered nearby Sport.

Let's get one thing out of the way right now – you shouldn't bring your children. They might Soccer schools want to go, but unless they have a very high tolerance for a long movie (2 and half hours) and an abnormally high tolerance for what might Soccer school be the most frightening performance ever (Heath Ledger's Joker), I'd get a sitter.

I know times are tough, but if I ever say to my wife, "Hey honey, I know how we can make some extra cash. Let's adopt a few kids!" I hope she dropkicks me into next week.

Judith Leekin, a 63-year-old woman, made over $1 million – yes, one MILLION dollars – from the subsidies offered to parents who adopt. She actually targeted "only special-needs children," because they brought the most money from NYC Children's Services. $55 a day.

So what's the problem? No law against adopting kids, right? Well, according to WCBS-TV, she was hideously abusive: the 11 children were, "handcuffed, battered, deprived of food and medicine and locked in a room." She never sent them to school, and hid them from anyone who came to her home. The money was used to keep up a "lavish lifestyle." This went on from 1988 until mid-2007; by that time she had moved the kids to Florida after adopting 11 children in New York City.

When first arrested last year, she denied the charges, and her lawyer claimed that she "loved and nurtured the children." Her biological son also defended her, saying that she was a good mom. A New York judge decided not to believe any of them, and she's been sentenced to "nearly 11 years" in prison. That doesn't seem long enough, but it was a plea bargain, so that's the way it goes.

So how exactly does this happen? No idea. She used fake names, went to different adoption agencies, and I suppose has some level of intelligence since she did things like forge report cards to appease NYC officials. An earlier story says that she might have been doing this since the 1970's, but that doesn't appear to factor in to this week's jail sentence.

Where are the kids now? Some are in foster homes, one is old enough to support himself and live alone, and another one may have died while in Leekin's care.

Nasty, nasty stuff, but at least she's been caught and punished.
