The Commerce Police Department is investigating a case of welfare fraud and identity theft perpetuated against a Commerce resident and her 3-year-old daughter.
According to the incident report, a 20-year-old black female came to the police department and reported that a friend with whom she and her daughter once lived had used her daughter’s information to get extra food stamps for six months.
The woman explained that she and her daughter had lived with the woman from last October to April, but when the victim found a job, she and her daughter got their own apartment. Later, when she lost the job and applied for food stamp assistance, a caseworker told her that her former friend had applied for food stamp benefits on behalf of the victim’s daughter. The benefit amounted $300 per month.
The victim told police that she’d never authorized any use of her daughter’s information and indicated she feels threatened by the woman, who she said works at Northridge Medical Center.

sounds fishy, pretty sure there was a deal and at some point the recently fired lady needed food stamps but found herself now needing them.... sorry there is something smelling rotten from the complainant

Why should race be mentioned in this story? The Commerce News tends to trend toward the left - would have thought this would have been caught. I am a republican and mentioning race doesn't seem right to me.

Pretty much every news source leans toward the left....Mark B. is so far left you mine as well call him a sheep. Obama is his shepherd) I bet he disagrees with his wife more than he does Obama. He'll find any way he can to rationalize what Obama says, then argue with his wife over a tiny issue.....

Radio talk shows are free enterprise-liberal talk shows have and will continue to fail. A liberal Atlanta talk show host advocated cutting the heads off of all T-Party members. I suggest you're another liberal stuck on stupid.

People sure do love to make personal attacks on others when hiding behind the anonymity of a forum. Here's a thought. Maybe most news people lean a bit left because they are the most informed people in America. After all, it is their job to do research, find the facts, and present them to the masses. Of course, this doesn't apply to the talking heads at faux news, who use fear and hatred of the poor and minorities to reach their audience. Let the trolling commence!

All welfare is a fraud.
