Pennsylvania woman 'collected $130,000 in welfare benefits for children who never existed'

A Pennsylvania woman has been jailed on charges that she collected $130,000 in state welfare benefits for three children who don't exist.

Sabrina Strothers is accused of claiming to give birth to three children in 2008 named Thomas, Tomalyia and Tyreik Wilson, investigators determined.

The Allegheny County district attorney announced the charges Monday against the 23-year-old.

Strothers' cousin reported her to Pittsburgh officials in January.

When investigators checked the children's Social Security numbers against government records, they determined the numbers belonged to people born in 1887, 1945 and 1960.

Strothers is accused of receiving nearly $130,000 in illegal benefits.

Birth to 3 children in 1 year? Should have sent up a red flag to somebody. Fire the person who approved payment.

Send her name to the IRS. She's probably collected on the kids there, too.

So we need to rely on the Daily Mail from the UK to report on this because the corrupt leftest media in this country would never report anything like the rampant welfare fraud that goes on here.

So, this is what is wrong with the system. WE NEED WELFARE REFORM!Just do the math...$130,000 x how many cheats. No wonder the country is going broke. Yet another thing the left doesn't get.

As many federal employees that are on payroll, this should not be one dollar and thirty cents, not alone 130 large. No person should be able to steal from the system. I don't expect President Trump to get to everything, but I bet and hope we will see a difference.
