Prosecutor: Man Convinced Son He Was Ill
By JOHN CHRISTOFFERSEN

Ericka Hollander’s search for answers about her son’s health began unraveling what prosecutors claim was a string of lies that her estranged husband wove to bilk a sympathetic public.

Her suspicions proved justified. Authorities say Michael Bradway, 38, engineered an elaborate scam that convinced dozens of people that his young son had cystic fibrosis.

He also convinced the child, prosecutors said.

Bradway was arraigned Thursday on charges of child abuse and larceny.

The boy, now 9, was put in state care last year and immediately began to gain weight and thrive, according to court papers. He now lives with his mother.

Bradway kept the boy thin and fabricated medical bills, fooling his estranged wife and in-laws for years, prosecutors said. He allegedly convinced his in-laws the boy needed a lung transplant and they contributed nearly $40,000 for the operation.

This man is worse than scum and lower than dirt. Doing this to a child should carry a death sentence.
