An Arkansas woman and her husband have been accused of a rare psychiatric disorder behind the life-threatening abuse and neglect they inflicted on their son, a judge ruled, according to a report.
Examples include adding blood to a child’s urine, withholding food, warming thermometers, falsifying lab results and administering drugs or an IV line to cause illness in the child, Mount Sinai states on its webpage. According to court records, the couple informed their community that their son, Louie, who they had adopted in 2014, was terminally ill, prompting many donations and charitable contributions.More Related News
