Is a breast augmentation surgery worth getting a criminal record? That is not the thought that pops into many women’s minds, I bet. Nevertheless it must have occurred to the mother in the following story.

An woman in England, Kelly Fannin boasted of spending thousands of pounds of her benefits on a life of luxury - including £4,500 on breast enlargement surgery. Now the unemployed mother of five has been jailed for persistent shoplifting. This according the the Daily Mail.

Somehow she managed to escape jail three times in five years for a series of previous thefts but has now been imprisoned for 16 weeks.

She admitted a spate of shoplifting which netted her nearly £3,000 of goods.

Fannin seems like a real winner. She has five children from four different fathers. Does she take responsibility for her actions? Hardly. She blamed her children for the latest offence, saying they had damaged their rented home and she was struggling to pay the cost of the repairs and the rent.

Quote of the Year – Brutal Honesty or Extreme Gumption

 “Some people might think I'm a scrounger but I don't think me or my children should miss out on nice things just because I have never worked. I've wanted a boob job since I was a teen but it wasn't until I had the five kids that I could afford it with the extra benefits I get. I really do want to have liposuction, a tummy tuck and Botox and the kids agree Mummy should have the best. All mums should be able to have cosmetic surgery. I don't care that it's at taxpayers' expense.”

In the last five years the 34-year-old had been given two suspended jail terms and a curfew.

She carried out some of the offences with another adult - and others with some of her children in tow. 

The children aged between four and 18 are now being looked after by another member of the wider family.

This is a real winner. She needs more than just a stop theft class. She needs serious counseling and hopefully taken off the dole permanently.
