A key senator has asked the Social Security Administration to investigate how people who live their lives role-playing as adult babies are able to get taxpayer-funded disability payments after one of them was featured on a recent reality TV episode wearing diapers, feeding from a bottle and using an adult-sized crib he built.
Sen. Tom Coburn, Oklahoma Republican and the Senates top waste-watcher, asked the agencys inspector general to look into 30-year-old Stanley Thornton Jr. and his roommate, Sandra Dias, who acts as his mother, saying its not clear why they are collecting Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits instead of working.
Given that Mr. Thornton is able to determine what is appropriate attire and actions in public, drive himself to complete errands, design and custom-make baby furniture to support a 350-pound adult and run an Internet support group, it is possible that he has been improperly collecting disability benefits for a period of time, Mr. Coburn wrote in a letter Monday to Inspector General Patrick P. O'Carroll Jr.

The inspector generals office didnt return a message seeking comment.
In an email response to The Washington Times, Mr. Thornton threatened to kill himself if his Social Security payments are taken away, and said the television episode showing him doing woodwork oversold his abilities.
You wanna test how damn serious I am about leaving this world, screw with my check that pays for this apartment and food. Try it. See how serious I am. I dont care, the California man said. I have no problem killing myself. Take away the last thing keeping me here, and see what happens. Next time you see me on the news, it will be me in a body bag.

What's the outrageous point here: that the Federal government, once they find out about this - DOESN'T IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF PAYMENTS, they start investigating and not responding to inquiries from the press.
Should the Federal government not seek REPAYMENT from these two for EVERY DOLLAR they received, or prosecute and send them to jail for fraud ?
Your proposal is accepted.
As far as his threats.....well, bye.
That’s his whole argument?
“Keep supporting me at taxpayer expense or I’ll kill myself”??
Send him to jail for fraud, and fire whoever approved sending him checks.
I have absolutely no problem with that.
Now, let’s see you do it, dude........................
Hey, a WIN-WIN situation!
Thanks for being such a sport about it, big-baby!
<><> First they get a latino Congressman to show them the ropes in exchange for votes and campaign contributions (exchanging gratuities for campaign help is a felony).
<><> Illegals then get their kids to fake ADD and get latino doctors to sign off on the scam.
<><> The illegal and his wife get SSI by faking being aged, blind or disabled.
<><> Getting SSI also gets them free healthcare on Medicare.
<><> All of it is collected with one identity---evidence shows illegals use multiple identities....all riding the US gravy train.

July 21, 2006----BERGEN RECORD, NJ
Texans accused of selling counterfeit IDs (impoverished illegals "here for a better life" pay several thousand $$$ for fake ID's)
Pelcastre brothers, Angel and Jorge, Dallas, Texas, were a walking threat to US national security, expert document forgers who, for a few thousand dollars, could give anyone a new identity, NJ L/E authorities said.
The Texas brothers were a "one-stop shop" for a myriad of fake US documents, including birth certificates, Social Security cards, driver's licenses---- for any state in the US------ passports and resident alien cards, said state police.
The Texas brothers turned a NJ hotel room into a business office and were readying a massive cache of fake Social Security cards for delivery to a local NJ identity broker. Officers happened upon two cars bearing Texas plates in a NJ hotel parking lot. Authorities wouldn't identify the NJ hotel by name for fear it would spark retribution. The Drug Interdiction Task Force regularly runs checks.
The Texas brothers were followed to a NJ office supply store nearby where they purchased computer supplies. Officers then followed the Texans to a NJ storage facility in Secaucus, NJ, where the Texans loaded several boxes into a car. One of them stood lookout. Authorities approached the Texas brothers when they returned to the NJ hotel and questioned them separately.
The Texas brothers consented to a search. Police recovered laminating sheets with built-in security features, pages of blank documents waiting for fake names and information, finished documents, computers and software to create the fake IDs. All told, the haul was worth about $500,000 on the street when sold to "impoverished illegals." Police also recovered $6,000 in cash, which was the first payment from a NJ fake document broker for a shipment of 500 phony Social Security cards. ####
LOL, doubt he has the backbone for that. At any rate its his call. He shouldn’t be living his weirdnesses on the dole and that should be stopped immediately.
What a baby!
That puffy fat pansy doesn’t have the stones to kill himself.
Your choice buddy.
Will he commit suicide by holding his breath?
BAH! Beat me to it.
Yeah, I say yank his benefits.
People who have hobbies build trains in their basement or people whipping the piss out of each other in their own homemade dungeons in their basements can hold down a steady 9-5 job. So why can’t this “adult baby” ie. (waste of space) hold down a job, you would think that would make his time “pretending to be toddler” more precious... (gah I just threw up a little in my mouth)....
You wanna test how damn serious I am about leaving this world, screw with my check that pays for this apartment and food. Try it. See how serious I am. I dont care, the California man said. I have no problem killing myself. Take away the last thing keeping me here, and see what happens. Next time you see me on the news, it will be me in a body bag.

How many other fraudulent people are draining the system???
