I contacted the employer and told them it was a disgrace such a person is given access to a vulnerable population. If this is how they vet their employees, I will not use their services and advise all I know of the same.

I have compassion for her in that she was manipulated by all the adults around her. Evidence shows her own mother helped staged the scene where she was found to avoid a beating by the alcoholic/drug addict stepfather. Why she let this man beat her daughter is beyond me.

Obviously she was in an horrific home situation and was damaged as a result.

Now she has an opportunity to stop Sharpton as he tries to exploit another troubled teenager (Trayvon Martin) for his purposes. Instead she attends a fund raiser for her in May, reiterating her story which has been proven false.

What amount of money is worth the legacy and life of lies? Is this what you want to leave to your daughter, Tawana?

Pagones has generously said he will forgive the debt if she confesses it was a hoax. She is now a college-educated adult. Tell the truth, Tawana:

You were manipulated by a group of very sick adults with self serving goals in mind. They exploited your situation. No one looked at what was so bad that this child would have staged such an event. Turns out stepdaddy stabbed his first wife 14 times and eventually shot her (7 years). AND he was a drinker & druggie. This is who her mother chose to allow near her daughter?

Sharpton, et al are trying to start another race riot, using a dysfunctional family with a troubled teen. Stop them, Tawana, with the truth. Tell how he used a damaged child for political gain. HIS bill was paid by Johnnie Cochran. Anyone paying YOUR settlement? You are now an adult.

Your legacy would be a phenomenal one of healing if you told the truth. People are forgiving and would understand. And it would shine the light on just how truly evil Al Sharpton is.

But if you continue using the story for financial gain, evade the courts and show no remorse, then I do not think you should have access to patients who are vulnerable and incapacitated. It's shows a high level of moral turpitude and such people cannot be in positions of trust.
