What ever happened to innocent until PROVEN guilty??? Why are we so reluctant to give this young guy the benefit of the doubt. Besides if it was a scam he has to live with that. I made a donation from a good place in my heart and I feel good about what I did.

i have known " chris " for about 7 sevens and although at one point in his life he was a great guy things have changed. He now is a liar and a theif. He scams people all the time and tried to blame other for what he does. dont believe him for a second he is not who you all think he is. the gifts prob didnt get stolen they are prob outside in his car. He said his is the only income then waiiit his gf is a NA but in reality shes a stripper.

God has truly turned this horrible nightmare into an AMAZING blessing and i am certain the family is very grateful to all that have taken part in it. sooner or later, the truth will come out and any1 who doubts this family will surely feel the guilt. thank God for those with the big open hearts!!

It's sad -the holiday season is a time to be giving, not taking! What is even more sad is the fact that this man fought for our country and yet threatened his own neighbors with a gun, blows coke, smokes crack, and has scammed multiple furniture stores throughout the years. Only for his own happpiness and greed. This is another one of his scams & I would not be surprised if the presents were hidden in the house or even WORSE he never bought any to begin with

The only reason he is "disabled" is because he is a quarter deaf in one ear. He takes advantage of the country for his benefits, and this is just another example of him trying to get something for nothing!! Dont use a kid you just met a few months ago to try to get free gifts! I'm sure his stripper mother can make that $1000 back tonight! :)

Wow at first I felt bad for the guy now I know this is all a crock. I can't believe he would fool people into believing him. All to get a nice engagement ring for his stripper and a new xbox. DISPICABLE. I do see his house got raided for drugs, and also heard he threatened to kill his landlord.

to court records you have been arrested on a type f felony do you want to lie again? I think you ticked some one off or you just made the whole things up if you look at the video the place is nice and clean.

Really Christopher?? She is a nurses assistant? Then why on the news last night did you say that you were the only source of income in your house? What about the other stripper that lives there as well? And your house didn't get raided in August for drugs? Truth or lie?

This guy is a scam artist. whoever "robbed" his house was looking for drugs. His house got raided in August by the cops. They fail to mention that. It is not just his income either. If you want to donate, go to the Foxy in Providence, his girlfriend is a stripper there. True story. ABC you should have done your research on this kid before running a story like this. He never got his ear blown off either. Please do not fall for his story.
