As the terrible crimes of Michael Devlin flood the media and the horrors those two young boys endured come to light one issue has all but disappeared thanks to the inherent idiocy of the masses. The phony and I say with a LOUD voice PHONY predictions of Sylvia Browne.
Even at the height of the psychic craze, during the heyday of John Edwards, this lady was an obvious and transparent fake. Yet, year after year, the talk show goons, Montel Williams and Larry King to name a couple, have give this fraud a place to ply her wares with impunity, often defending this charlatan from potential debunkers and skeptics.
With the horrible predictions, she made in the Hornbeck case turning out to be false I predict Sylvia Browne will be the subject of a lawsuit. At least I hope so! It is amazing that the FTC or Justice Department does not investigate the claims of people like this. They are predators of the worst sort jumping in during tragedies with a bunch of ill begotten vagaries. That in the instance of Shawn Hornbeck Case could have resulted in people, mostly misguided believers, looking in the wrong direction due to her phony predictions.
Sylvia Browne, who is not affiliated with any law enforcement agency to my knowledge, essentially gave her ‘profile’ of the man who she claimed ‘killed’ Hornbeck who was found several days later in the home of alleged (obvious) child molester Michael Devlin.
Why has no one brought up fraud charges on this woman? Why has her website not been closed? Most of all why are people still buying her crap?
With any luck, this woke up a good segment of believers to the realities of psychics, especially those who claim to have ‘special’ powers.

Well, there are lots of celebrity psychics out there that gives readings that seems odd and most of them doesn't really come true, not even close, but I think that what is important with this sort of things is on how we as individuals will interpret those readings and use them on our daily lives
