Holy shit.

convinced her to let her move into her home by pretending she had only three months to live and had been abused by her parents, Truro Crown Court heard.

The student faked a terminal kidney tumour and Mrs Retallack helped Bianco fulfil a ‘bucket list’, which included expensive gifts, trips and a ‘goodbye’ party for friends to say farewell before she died.

Bianco would be dropped off at hospital every day but would then sit in a café in her pyjamas and dress herself in fake bandages. She even pretended she had had her kidney removed.

Holy shit.

Bianco met the mother-of-four on a college course and convinced her to let her move into her home by pretending she had only three months to live and had been abused by her parents

I can't even get my professors for office hours most of the quarter.

Goddamn, the teacher sounds like the nicest and most trusting soul in the world, and she had her life ruined because of that.

That girl has serious problems, and 2 years in jail isn't going to fix anything. Should be in a mental institution.

The question is why?

But people are fucking crazy and the girl probably only did this because the woman could be manipulated easily.

Bianco then set Sally up with a ‘recently widowed’ consultant physician called John – who was actually her, using a ‘husky’ voice and a fake email address.

Either this teacher was pure as the driven snow or I'm calling shenanigans.

Man what kind of dark and disgusting talent does she have to be able to deceive someone for so long and tear them apart. Holy fuck!

Good god.

I hope she can sell her story and make a lot of money in a movie adaptation. Cause this sounds like something straight out of one.
 
Why would she do that? And for what purpose?

Some people have no remorse what so ever for their actions and manipulation of others and it's downright terrifying.

What the fuck

WHAT

Why would somebody do that to a person who shows you so much love

I don't understand people

I can't
 
Disgusting person, faking cancer should be a crime punishable 5 plus years alone, then adding all the other stuff, this wacko should be in jail for 8-10 years..

She took advantage of her to get whatever she wanted far beyond just a place to stay using the cancer excuse. It's pure evil to exploit someone who was willing to do so much for her but it's not It's not incomprehensible. There are entire industries who prey on people who are incredibly generous and not skeptical enough.

Psychopaths have no empathy. Everyone is just there to be used, as they're unable to care that their actions have these kinds of consequences.
 
“Very gradually throughout the period that Elisa was in my life, she manipulated her way daily more deeply into my life by lying, acting, increasing dependency by creating a fictional realm of both physical and emotional circumstances that subtly started to build barriers between myself and my friends and family.

This reads like people were trying to tell her that this was all bullshit, but she chose the sociopath over them. I just don't know how you can go 6 years and never once go talk to a doctor or something. How the hell do you fake having a kidney removed without having to stay at the hospital for a number of days? Did she just limp back to the car clutching her side "Oh they took it out!"

Pretty sick to take advantage of someone so gullible and caring.

I see it as a combination Bianco manipulating her and it just snowballing with each year. Imagine how terrible she felt when she got definitive proof that she was faking it for years. It's more comfortable to dismiss the small inconsistencies and believe you're truly helping someone who needs you than come to the truth that a monster ruined your life.
