I'm just shocked that this girl's parents would more or less sell everything and give her the money.
Is this just them being completely gullible or is it something you parents have to consciously fight?

Its pretty simple. Don't give a drug addict money. Whether they're related to you or not. Theres only one thing it will ever be spent on.
I didn't get the point of giving up their jobs to fund the daughter. I'm no financial genius, but that sounds counterproductive.
wow.. that's some next level deceit 😯
what a horrible little brat
I didn't get the point of giving up their jobs to fund the daughter. I'm no financial genius, but that sounds counterproductive.
She faked a successful career to her parents and told them they could retire. From the article:
Boardman reassured her parents that her success as an academic would pay off, and her father had retired early under the premise that earnings from her work published in scientific journals would help him financially.Lee added: "Boardman completed a detailed schedule of expenses and her parents decided to sell their home after she presented fake draft sales contracts for her work worth £3m."
Oh right. The BBC article I read didn't go into that detail.
She could probably get a job as a company accountant with that level of foresight and mid term planning. Shit for the parents and siblings though. 🙁
Lets all go victim blaming till Graham delivers the facts
Binners is right though I used to make a drug addict "friend"* leave my house if i went to the toilet and follow me if I went to make a brew
It was nothing personal but they liked heroin more than me.
