What reason is good enough for any mother to feed poo poo into her sick child’s medication?
An Indiana mother has been arrested for allegedly injecting feces into her 15-year-old son’s IV bag while he was undergoing cancer treatment.
Tiffany Alberts, 41, of Wolcott has been charged with six counts of aggravated battery and one count of neglect of a dependent resulting in serious bodily injury.
Alberts’ son, who is not named, was being treated at Riley Hospital for Children for leukemia and officers were called to the facility for possible child abuse last Thursday, according to WXIN.
After the teen had several unexplained infections that were delaying his treatment, hospital staff placed a surveillance camera in his room, court documents state.
The surveillance video allegedly showed the mother-of-five injecting an unknown substance
with a syringe into her son’s IV bag on several different occasions.
Hospital staff told investigators the teen had received his first round of chemotherapy in September and was sent home.
However, he returned days later with a fever and was experiencing diarrhea and vomiting, according to court documents.
