That is not even a slap on the hand. They stole money from people that donated the funds to the organization.
The daughter should have at least had gotten a year in prison. Repay $52489 - how much did she really take. There is no doubt it was more than that.
And they wonder why donations to charities are down. Even the charaties that have the big names have their hands in the till! I no longer donate money, but do donate time and goods to organizations when I can.
