Summary
- Mother allegedly subjected son to ongoing medical abuse.
- Child was wheelchair-bound and fed through a tube.

A disturbing case of alleged medical abuse has emerged involving a mother from Glen Rose. Investigators report that the mother is accused of subjecting her young son to severe and ongoing abuse, exhibiting patterns consistent with Munchausen syndrome by proxy.
According to an 18-page arrest affidavit, the child endured significant hardship. He was allegedly kept in a wheelchair, sustained by a feeding tube, and administered multiple medications. Crucially, these interventions occurred despite doctors never confirming the conditions the mother claimed the child suffered from.
Authorities have described the case as deeply troubling, noting its similarity to other medical abuse investigations. The child has been removed from the situation and is now reported to be safe. Multiple counties are currently reviewing the extensive medical records and treatment decisions made in this concerning case.
