A young girl has bravely exposed her mother's lies about forcing her to fake cancer since she was 7 years old.

Hannah Millbrandt, 21 years old, from Ohio, USA recently told about her childhood abuse by her mother who gave her drugs and told her she had cancer.14 years ago, a mother named Theresa blamed her daughter for cancer. She even organized meetings to discuss cancer treatment for her daughter, thereby raising more than 23,000 USD in fundraising (more than 500 million VND).

Hannah said that when she was 7 years old, she had a cough and her mother took her to the doctor. Then, Theresa told the whole family that her daughter had a tumor in her spinal cord and only had a few weeks to live. Theresa's whole family burst into tears because of the unfortunate child.

"After that night, my life changed. My mother made me wear a mask because it would help me fight off bacteria better. I hated the way people treated me differently, only pity remained in their eyes," Hannah confided to the newspaper.Mirror.

Locals around the small Ohio town began fundraising for Hannah's treatment and prayed for her every time they went to church. "I hated the attention, but my mom was so grateful for the fundraising. She used to say I was a million-dollar baby, but I was too young to understand," Hannah shared.

As a family nurse, Theresa was allowed to use drugs and began secretly giving them to Hannah. Her health continued to deteriorate, with frequent headaches and loss of strength. One day, the 7-year-old woke up and was shocked to find her shiny hair gone, because her mother had the heart to shave her head to look like she was undergoing chemotherapy.

Strangely, throughout the process, Hannah's father, Bob, always managed to be with her, but the appointments were always changed at the last minute. Often, Hannah's mother and grandmother would take her to the doctor, with an ice cream cone, and she would sleep through it all.

"My friends and teachers cried when they saw me, and the whole class even put on wool hats so I wouldn't be alone," Hannah said.

Until one day, a teacher discovered that the girl's hair had grown back and reported this. Mrs. Theresa had to admit her evil deeds and was sentenced to 6.5 years in prison.

Hannah now works as a university social worker, caring for abandoned and abused children. She is still haunted by her mother's actions. "My childhood was completely destroyed because of her greed," Hannah added.
