A white suburban mother who placed a 911 call claiming two black men had carjacked her – but instead flew to Disney World with her child to escape a looming arrest – was sent to prison Thursday for nine to 23 months.

Bonnie Sweeten, 38, pleaded guilty in Bucks County Court to identity theft and filing a false police report, misdemeanors that typically bring probation.

But a judge offended by Sweeten’s performance on a 911 tape said her hoax led to a frantic national search, traumatized her daughter and, perhaps worst of all, tore open society’s racial wounds.

“Your wants, your needs, your wishes and desires came before everybody,” Judge Jeffrey L. Finley said.

He called Sweeten, a paralegal and PTA mom, “a calculating, manipulative, hardhearted woman.”

Sweeten could face more time in prison, as federal investigators are pursuing the theft from the grandfather’s 401(k) account. Sweeten also had several credit cards belonging to her former boss, lawyer Debbie Carlitz, with her at Disney World, Henry said.

Carlitz has said her firm’s finances are under review.

After Sweeten was led off in handcuffs Thursday, her father, William Siner, 66, attacked two news cameramen waiting outside the courtroom, shoving one of them into a bench.

Siner, of Milton, Del., had appeared devastated in the courtroom as his daughter admitted her crimes and was ordered to prison. Sheriff’s deputies detained him, but police were investigating and no charges were expected to be filed Thursday night, Henry said.

Victor Biondino was no tycoon, just smart with money.

He toiled in a Bucks County steel mill, reared four children in a Levittown rancher, and lived frugally on his wife’s pay as a meatwrapper. By saving and investing, he managed to retire with a tidy nest egg.

Biondino was 92 and struggling with dementia when nearly $300,000 of those savings were stolen, relatives say, by a trusted former in-law.

Her name: Bonnie Sweeten.

Sweeten, 38, of Feasterville, drew national attention May 26 by faking her own abduction and vanishing with her 9-year-old daughter in tow.

After an intense police dragnet and tearful appeals by loved ones on network news shows, the two turned up in a luxe resort at Walt Disney World in Florida.

Sweeten was charged with identity theft and false reports. She is scheduled for trial Thursday on the misdemeanor charges in Bucks County Court.

At the time, police and relatives said they did not know why the paralegal and mother of three had fled.

But Victor Biondino’s loved ones had a strong hunch.

They and police had known for months, they now say, that Sweeten had swiped $280,000 from Biondino’s Vanguard money-market retirement fund in December.

The relatives had demanded the cash back, threatening arrest. After months of excuses, they say, Sweeten wrote them a $285,000 check and bolted the day it bounced.

She may have a thyroid disease. No joke it can make you so some crazy things and appear crazy looking.  She may suffer long term hospitalization – mental because of it if my guess is correct
