Dead Egg: Mother Forced Her 5YO Son To Undergo Unneeded Medical Treatments To Collect A Disability Check

A mother in Georgia faked her 5-year-old son's illness to collect disability checks, authorities say.

Teresa Lynne Roth, 34, forced her son to take 28 unnecessary medications and undergo unneeded medical treatments for nearly two years, according to investigators.

Her son, who was on numerous medications, was in a wheelchair and on a feeding tube as his parents drew disability checks on his behalf.

According to Boston 25, the case began in 2016 when the boy was taken to a hospital in Atlanta and received treatment for several illnesses — which investigators now say were completely made up. Once health care workers became suspicious of the mother, they alerted the Department of Family and Children's Services (DFCS), which removed the child from the home in October 2018.

Not very smart.

If she was smart, she would have left her perfectly healthy child as he was and went on an adoption frenzy.
Adopting special needs kids is worth bank. Plus it gets someone lots of kudo's and the don't have to look like they gave birth to a not perfect baby.

:penguin::penguin::penguin::penguin:

And they are easy to care for. Just lock 3-4 per bedroom and put a shit bucket in there.

This reminds me of a FL woman, IIRC her name was Kathy Smith, who put her young daughter through over a dozen needless surgeries, and caused E.coli infections in the child's feeding tube and pike sub-clav IV.
It was considered a Munchausen by Proxy case, she also had 3 older boys who were healthy, and as soon as the state took the daughter from the parents, she suddenly became healthy too, despite supposedly being deathly ill with several serious disorders.
When the daughter reached age 16 she wrote her mother a scathing letter, slamming her for every single unnecessary treatment, medication, surgery, and induced illness she put the girl through.
It was printed in the Tampa news paper, and was glorious to read how that kid had adjusted with a loving foster family, and just completely shredded every defense the mother had tried to use.

I can't fathom intentionally harming a child for a monthly check, WTF kind of evil mentality does shit like that?

Yes!
Sorry I was wrong about the last name, I ain't getting no younger :p
This woman was a monster. really sadistic.

ETA: Wow, so now the daughter has changed her mind?
Her father and brothers were allowed to continue supervised visits, I wonder if that has anything to do with her mind change now from when she was a teenager.

She will change it again.

I went through this mental battle for years defending my mother and trying to have a relationship before she finally made me realize what isn't there never was and never will be.

Amen Keep. :inpain:
I've recently had to finally realize and accept the exact same scenario. I tried for decades to forgive the physical/mental childhood abuse and continuing emotional abuse throughout my adult life.
I've had continuous weekly nightmares since I was two (still do!), hyper-alertness/hyper-defense/diligence, fear of sleeping, and extreme anxiety when I'm around her. It was finally diagnosed as PTSD a few years back.
When I gently tried to explain this, and why I have these fears to my mother, her reply made it clear to me that
it's not been me or my fault - she has never been an unconditional loving parent towards me, nor the mother I (and everyone) needed and still do, and she never can be - she simply does not have these abilities within herself and personality to share with me.
