The classic Alfred Hitchcock movie
Psycho made audiences sat perched on the edge of their theater seats
and gasp in shock once they discovered who was behind the murders at the
Bates Motel. But of course everyone suspected it was the mother, but
what they did not expect was that Norman Bates was his mother.

The same scenario played out for an New York
City man who decided to dress up and appear as his deceased mother, but not to murder innocent travelers, but to continue to receive her Social Security benefits and rental assistance.
According to
reports, "Thomas Prusik-Parkin is accused of collecting Irene Prusik's
government
benefits and rent subsidies for six years after her 2003 death -- with
the help of a wig, some nail polish, a scarf and his mom's favorite
bright-red dress." For now this particular Mr. Bates will not be able to receive any further rebates from his deceased mother or on the tax-payer dollar.
