AUSTIN, Texas — A woman in Texas has been accused of repeatedly smearing human waste on her 3-year-old daughter's intravenous feeding line, potentially causing life-threatening infections.
Emily Beth McDonald, 23, of Austin, was charged with felony injury to a child. She faces up to life in prison if convicted.
According to an arrest affidavit, a surveillance video at Dell Children's Medical Center captured McDonald on Sunday placing feces from a soiled diaper on the cap of a tube with a direct link to her child's bloodstream.

WHAT THE FUC*???????????????????/
I turned the radio off in the car when I heard this and screamed, “Night of the living f%$@@#$ DEAD!”
This world is gone.
WTH?????? GRRRRRR!!!
Munchausen’s by proxy. Mom thrives on the attention she gets from having a sick child. Tries to keep her sick. Remember the “I see dead people” movie?
Let the punishment fit the crime: life in gaol, no parole, diet of Nutraloaf and water morning, noon, and nite.
(Actually, “to be hanged by the neck until dead” would be a better and cheaper option, but the Liberals are in power in the US now, so the Nutraloaf will have to do.)
that is ONE SICK HUMAN
That is what it sounds like, unfortunately.
GOD be with the child. How sad a mother could actually do something like this. She obviously needs to be in a mental institution.
I saw a show about Manchausen's on TV once where the mother injected coffee grounds into her daughter's legs. The poor kid has permanent ambulatory damage from that.
She should be charged with impersonating a politician...
Sounds like this could be munchausen by proxy, where the mother intentionally makes a child sick, in order to become the center of attention.
“The affidavit said that the sick child was admitted to the hospital April 15 with a high fever and “a long history of chronic diarrhea.” She had a catheter and doctors conducted a blood test, which was positive for foreign bacteria common in feces.”
The illness that originally caused the poor child to be admitted was probably caused by the mother as well. After the mother serves her time, she should never be allowed contact with any children again.
Stupid b**ch probably into some hippy ghia healing crap from the commune.....
...or else she is so for mentally gone that she should be placed in a rubber room the rest of her natural life.
How do people like this manage to do simple things like drive or get out of bed without killing themselves?
sick, sick, sick
She obviously needs to be in a mental institution.
That will most likely be the defense stragety. Not sure that I agree but each to one’s opinion.

She should be charged with attempted murder.
Unbelievable.
>>My understanding is that ID is the one pushing for her to stay since she’s “too complicated” and “unpredictable” to be at home. <<
This is a line from the blog.
Someone suspected something.
