i'm naive

Okay, here is the original post. It is just so unreal and I am exhausted with marestare. When no one answered after about 30 looks I thought I was over-reacting to the situation because I'm so tired and emotional. (Those mares can be so cruel to their humans as they stand there, comfortable with being pregnant forever!)
To me, this is like something I'd see in a movie on the LifeTime channel. Not something in my real life at all.
I didn't mean to raise a rucous or to seem petulant. Sorry.
*****************
Most likely this is the situation, but I can't prove it. I've just never been exposed to something like this so I don't know how to process my feelings about it.
A friend's child has had voluntary cosmetic surgery. In order to cover it up this child (age 20) has told parents that a tumor was found and removed. The child is 1500 miles away. The tumor was so big, supposedly, that reconstructive surgery had to occur immediately, during that same procedure.
That was my first hint that the truth was not being told. I mean, what doctor removes a possibly cancerous tumor and then performs a procedure to restore larger perfection (such as an implant) during the same surgery?? Plus I had heard earlier that the cosmetic surgery was desired.
The mother was a basket case. I was devastated at the thought. Offered her money for a plane ticket to fly to the side of her child. She said she would wait for the test results and if it was cancerous, she would move there, even if it meant leaving everything here forever and filing for bankruptcy.
If the mother found out the child was lying, I doubt she would tell me. We're not best buddies but we have been there for each other over the last 10 years and each feels as if we owe the other for their support during hard times.
Presented with a printout of an online conversation revealing the deception, the mother would probably not believe me. The child would provide an explanation that someone else had hacked into a user account and had fabricated the whole cosmetic surgery thing.
How do you talk to your children that now know this friend lied to the parents about something so frightening?
If you found proof, like in an online discussion, would you tell the mother?
I just can't imagine this kind of deception. It's pathological.

Sheesh, last nite was good TV and I was also sick after drinking some bad water so the throne was my forum for a while. Obviously I wasn't online and many also may not have been. I hate to see this type of thing. Not yelling but gee wiz give the group a chance!
