I wonder why someone suspected that it was all a scam?

From what has been reported, school resource officer became suspicious because they boy's mother was telling people he was dying from cancer but boy appeared to be in good health.

Yes, and it sounds as if this boy actually believed he had cancer and told people. She really must have done a number on him. Perhaps he went to the doctor for a checkup and she told him later that the doctor had called to tell her that he had cancer.

One of her FB posts talks about being ready to bring him home from the hospital, but their furnace wasn’t working. She asked for someone to fix it!

According to police affidavit,.when questioned, she claimed doctor called her on the phone to tell her that the boy had cancer. I presume that's what she told the boy to convince him he had cancer.

Ginny was sentenced to 26 months in June 2019.

Woman sentenced after falsely telling 13-year-old son he is dying from cancer.

Looks like the case against the dad was dismissed (need to search by name).
