Bad (PTA) Moms - EscapeBite ep.2

Bad (PTA) Moms 

 

Summary of Episode 

The movie “Bad Moms” portrayed PTA parents as crazy, controlling, and conniving – but all in good fun. (It is a movie, after all.) It wasn’t nearly as funny when three PTA moms in southern California scammed millions of dollars from real people, including fellow PTA members. They got away with it for a time but couldn’t escape the consequences of their scheme. Learn more about the case in this week’s Escape Bite mini-sode.
