She told them on the Montel Williams show four months after he disappeared that he was dead. This woman is a swindler of the worst kind. I fail to understand how she can lie to people constantly and go unpunished. I would say that the people that ask her these things are idiots, but I would be wrong. They are people grasping at any shred of hope.

Cant sue her - she claims she only does it for entertainment purposes...
Of course, Im still trying to figure out how "Your son is dead" is supposed to be entertaining....maybe to the sick phuck who is making the statement?

I think that, for the most part, Sylvia Brown and others like her are frauds. However, there was a case a few years back involving a local man, John B. who disappeared near the Butler Mall. It was assumed that he was dead because another local man was caught on a convenience store's camera wearing John's shirt, and using John's credit card. Also, witnesses reported hearing three gunshots in the area that night.
Fast forward a few days, and the suspect, who happened to be a friend of my niece's and was in her wedding, kills himself after the police catch up to him in Arizona. John's family is crushed. They haven't a clue where his body is, and the only person who did know is now dead.
A few weeks later, John's mother Judy B. is a guest on the Montel William's show. She speaks with Sylvia, who tells her that John is dead after having been shot 3 times in the back. His body is lying in a culvert, in a small amount of water, and will be found before Thanksgiving, which was only 2 days away when this episode aired.
The very next day, PennDOT workers found John's body in a culvert near my cousin Krys' house, in a small pool of water. He had been shot in the back 3 times. Everything Sylvia predicted would happen did. Maybe she occasionally gets lucky, I don't know. But in the case of John B, she nailed it dead on.

lawsuits, for the most part are so frivolous and insane.
I agree that what this woman told them was out there and blatantly wrong, but it's not like the parents actually believed her anyways, or they'd have stopped looking for their son. And that never happened.
People just need to stop paying attention and definitely stop paying $$$ for her crap. If the Hornbeck family sues her that leaves a lot of people out who will never have any sort of proof that she's a fraud...and fraud in the case of a psychic is pretty hard to prove as well. Somehow they always have a defense...

Sylvia Brown is a fraud and a psychic condemned in the Bible. However, if people choose to put their trust in her and turn their backs on God then they should not be able to sue. Sylvia Brown is just a person subject to the same errors as any human, and she should not be held to a higher standard. I am against suing her, but rather propose that people not be so trusting of that kind of stuff.

They were talking about this matter just now on CNN, they invited Sylvia Browne to come on the show, but she declined. I would be interested also in what Montell has to say about this.

People that put their faith in garbage like psychics should not be surprised when they get what they get. They hold hold no ill will towards a stupid unproven phenomenon, or the people who "practice" it. What trhey should do is look in the mirror and realize they are retarded for ever thinking that a psychic was the way to go. But suing her, nah.

Do you think she said anything to them that many others hadn't already told them? Should they sue everyone who suggested their son was no longer alive? If they asked you, what would you have told them about their son? Should Sylvia have told them he was alive? Wouldn't you be squawking about suing her for that, too?
I just think you're taking it a little too seriously and merely promoting the horrible sue-happy culture America already has.

this is why in the Uk we have laws to prevent this
we as psychics in the Uk are not allowed to predict like this
it is disgusting and does nothing but give people more reason to distrust those psychics and mediums who are genuine and work very hard
but as long as she is covering herself by claiming it is for entertainment purposes ... there is nothing anyone can do

They should be ashamed to have put their trust in a psychic. They ought not sue her because they know that her talent is not 100% accurate.
