Meet Jobless Mom Of 12 Children Known As ‘Queen Of Benefits’ Who Collects Nearly $50K Per Year Arrested

Cheryl Prudham, a 34 year-old mother of 12 children had reportedly stolen over $12,000 in change from local parking meters.

Having been the subject of controversy in the media before, she had also recently collected over $49,000 in a year as welfare money.

Earning herself the nickname, “Queen of Benefits.”

She had been spotted when she was out looking for a Mercedes near her home in Wigan, Lancashire.

Cheryl’s estranged husband, Robert Prudham, was also charged with stealing change from local parking meters.

He had taken an amount of $12,886 in change from the parking meters and also failed to admit to his past criminal records at a recruitment firm.

Cheryl was therefore accused of handling the stolen cash. However, there was also another accomplice, a 27 year-old man named Jacob Undertown.


Even though they have all been accused of the same crime, neither of them had admitted to it.

A part-time cleaner, Cheryl had conceived 6 of her children with two different men before conceiving another 6 with her husband, Robert.

Cheryl had admitted to suffer an addiction with pregnancy and wanted 1 more child to gain more welfare money.


Cheryl stated that since she had children most of her life, she wanted to reward herself with breast enhancement surgery.

After her split with Robert, Cheryl stated that she had no interest in men but just only having children.
