Police Say Mom Stole Money From Son Deployed To Afghanistan

February 16, 2012 at 2:05 pm by Morbid

Daytona Beach, FL – One Florida mom has found herself in a bit of trouble after she was accused of stealing thousands of dollars from her son, a U.S. Marine, who had been deployed to Afghanistan.

Police have charged 43-year-old Paula Barker with fraudulent use of personal identification information after they say she waited until her son had been deployed overseas to steal $4000 from his bank account.

When he returned home several months later and found his funds had depreciated without his participation, he contacted police and told them he suspected his mother was the culprit. Investigators asked Barker about the missing money and she said she wasn’t responsible and didn’t even know the account existed.

But police would end up arresting Barker after determining that she’d used her son’s account to buy an airplane ticket and to send herself some cash through Western Union. Probably to buy the remaining hydrogen peroxide needed to get her hair to that “Boo Radley” color she seems to be after.

She is currently behind bars on $5000 bond.

Hey Paula, I don’t think you’ll ever see your son with a ‘Mom’ tattoo on his arm. You dirt bag.

What a great mom.

I would like to be the first to nominate this woman as Mother of the Year 2012. I imagine the son’s childhood was just as enchanted as his return home from war.

It really makes you wonder what went through her head to think this is okay? I mean did she really think he wouldn’t notice $4000.00 missing? I bet she has always been a selfish greedy hag and he went into the Marines just to get away from her since she probably blew his college fund (if he even had one)

She didn’t steal enough to make bond.

Big fat slug needs a good boot to the cunt. Hope he presses full charges on her. How dare she steall from our servicemen let alone from her own son……wait then again, I’ve seen some crazy shit on DD since i stumbled upon this site…..But still glad as fuck i did !!!!!!
Josh

The fact that she had her hands in his money tells me she probably can’t repay it cause she never saved any money.

This makes me sick to my stomachand I just can’t fathom it. It hits close to home because my son is a soldier preparing to deploy. Before he left for his duty station he opened a new bank account and asked me to be the joint account holder to help oversee things like bills and what-not. This woman needs to be stripped of her title, she doesn’t deserve it. Cunt.

I wonder what she’ll get for Mother’s Day.

This bitch! This man is serving out country and her peroxide head ass is robbing him blind? She are worthless.

All our soldiers want to do (most of the time) is come home to family and he came home to a worthless mother and an almost empty account. smh

Heh-heh. My mind conjured up a vase shaped like buttocks with ankles sticking out the top.

I wonder how well those would sell?

My mom did this to my sister. She didn’t want to get her arrested so she ate 7 years of bad credit. She also did it to her ex-husband and my grandmother, both of whom let it go. She wasn’t stupid enough to do it to me.

“Probably to buy the remaining hydrogen peroxide needed to get her hair to that “Boo Radley” color she seems to be after.”

There isn’t enough bleach in Florida.
EveryVillainIsLemons

She probably used the money she stole from her son to pay for that shitty-ass dye job. I can’t comprehend people who steal from their children, much less children serving overseas.

What an asshole!

Sold out…
GGMon

Seriously, what a cunt. My mom wouldn’t take my money if it were offered to her but this hambeast has no problem stealing from her son-knowing he could die at any moment? Something tells me these two don’t exactly have a relationship.

I know…right?!?!?

Incomprehensible. *smh*

You just can’t trust anyone anymore!

Wow, how crappy. Does anyone even talk to her any more? Does everyone gather at Mom’s for the holidays? Do tell. I’m curious as to how this has worked out…

Never Ced. You’re too high maintenance for me.
hicusdicus

She should have used the money for a face lift.
Josh

….pick you up at 7? =)
Josh

Or an education.
Lena60

What A loser, I hope he cuts all ties with her, if he has not done so already.She looks like an old bar fly with that bleach blond mess. It goes well with her criminal activity thougth.
hicusdicus

No,No, This is one skank that should be seen and not heard. She should be seen with iron sights at close range. But not so close as to get blood splatter on your barrel.
JGo555

Wow. Because being a douche doesn’t discriminate in hair colors.

And yet you talk and I don’t see the pics….

At her fucking age, her kids should be offering her money because of what she has done for them & for being their mom.

The fact that she stole it, pretended she didn’t do it & then her son pressed charges tells me she’s not been a good mom one bit & that she has earned the mistrust her kids have on her.

I give my mom money all the time & she turns it down. I betcha she drinks or uses pills.

A nice long stay at the Iron Bars Spa.

You know you want to see if the carpet matches the drapes.

I would say meth is behind her actions but she is too fat for a tweaker.

you know something i have just about had it with selfish and soul destroying mothers and i really hope this one including my own mother rots in hell

i am thoroughly disgusted by this act of selfishness what a sad world we live in

Maybe the bleach went through her head,and ate her brain.

Years ago my ‘dad’ sold my motorbike when I moved from the UK to t US. I didn’t need the bike anymore.

I never saw the money…..but then my dad is a complete twat lol
Lena60

Iam sure it doesn’t
malq

Normally I wouldn’t say this, but I suspect you have good reason to feel that way. I don’t blame you a bit.
malq

Yeah she turns MILF into MIWNF
Josh

“At her fucking age, her kids should be offering her money because of what she has done for them & for being their mom.” Thats paying to be the victim of a douchebag.
Sam

Yeah… i’m thinking she took the peroxide a step too far and obliterated a few brain cells with it, too.
Sam

She tried, bless her. She heard about the facelift effect of looking like you’ve stuck your head out of an airplane window so she bought a plane ticket.
Sam

It’s not even just that she stole her son’s money – she hatched a plan, waited until he shipped out, THEN stole his money. This wasn’t “this unexpected bill has me panicking” – this was a premeditated screwing over of her own flesh and blood. She is so far past salvation i wouldn’t even be able to see her from here if she didn’t have fluorescent hair.
To the son – cut her loose, fast. She may have given you life, but now you need to take charge of that life and keep it out of her grasp, to stop her from fucking YOUR life up. There’s only one person with the right to fuck that life up – you.

When did Clariol come up with the color, cotton ball? IDK, but this is looking like a mullet. That could explain some of it.
DangerousKindOfSnark

Well, since they decided to ignore it, things went on pretty much as they always have. My mom and sister have a weird love/hate co-dependent relationship. My grandmother likes to bitch about people behind their backs. I’m constantly having to stop her because I don’t want to fucking hear it. Her ex still talks to her even though she’s remarried. Let me sum it up this way, I literally cried the first time I watched Arrested Development because I didn’t find it all that funny.
Andy P

Wow that is terribly unfortunate and I’m sorry you had to go through that. My parents have been married for 51 years and still live in the same house I grew up in. I never truly realized just how “normal”, loving and nurturing my family has been to me until I came here and started reading all these DD stories. It is amazing what you can take for grated.

No, I’m going to have a headache. =P

I’m not too keen on spalshing pictures of myself or the fam on the internet, but for you I will get a pic and use it as my avatar for a couple of days.

I appreciate the sentiment, but I would be who I am today without the bullshit from my childhood. I think I’m stronger for it, a bit crazy, but stronger.

She probably thought she would just borrow it and pay it back before he came back and noticed, - if he came back.

That is downright sickening. How could a mother do this to her precious child that put his life on the line for country. I hope the witch get the maximum allowed by law for her crimes!
TinyCyborg

When I had to call NIKE.com a few months ago when mystery scumbags stole my credit information and tried to buy $500 worth of sneakers online, the guy on the other end of the phone @ NIKE sympathized/emphasized with me saying his mother stole thousands of dollars from him while he was deployed to the middle east. He mentioned he has been out of the service for two years and the charges against her are still slowly churning their ways through the bowels of the legal system. Maybe this isn’t that uncommon; piece of shit family members taking the bones before the body is cold.
