This is true..they are abused..I can vouch for that. I know that here in MD they can't be used to buy cigarettes or alcohol but a friend of mine told me how they get around that...I'll have to ask her and get back to you guys.
Here is a terrible story that my friend's friend actually did: she was in a bad relationship with two kids (both kids were by different men and the man in the relationship with her was not the father of either child.) She got into a fight with the man. Nothing physical. She called the domestic violence line and told them she was being abused and they paid to put her up in a HOTEL for a week!!! Can you imagine the poor folks who donated their hard earned money to this place? (This story is from when I lived in NC and this happened in Durham.) I know two other amazing things this woman did to scam the system. Crazy.
