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.

Bob Phillips, an attorney representing McDonald, told the newspaper she is a "fine young woman from a fine family who loves her children very much." "I believe that as the facts unfold, the impression people have of this young woman will change for the better," Phillips said.
How can the lawyer say this with a straight face?? Put her in a cell and feed her feces - see how she likes it.

This woman is beyond belief, imo. Here she discusses her children and their health problems in this Q/A with the American Statesman back in 2007.

More kids with no father.

Take away the child immediately. Place in a loving foster home. Put the mother in jail with a ridiculously high bail. Try her, convict her, and never let her see the child again.

Makes me wonder if she somehow induced her two premature births.

Maybe Munchausen, or maybe something else.
I had (or rather Mrs. Jewbacca had, and I only did the fun part) a premature daughter --- who is completely OK.
Anyway, our daughter was in the NICU for a little over a month, which is tough, in and of itself, as we had other young children.
Well, when the baby came home, it was even tougher, as she was very small, had a monitor, and had to eat right at every three hours day and night for months to gain size.
Pretty tough going with other kids and work for me.
Anyway, we survived through friends and hiring nurses.
Long story short, with multiple other children, I could see this woman making her child sick so the baby stayed in the hospital and someone else took care of her.
Just a hunch, having been in the trenches.
