Just when you think you’ve heard it all, a story comes along that shocks your sensibilities. A Texas woman has been convicted of attempted murder for starving a teen she cared for.
42-year-old Danita Tutt forced the boy to undergo unnecessary surgeries while falsely claiming he had a terminal illness.
Why would somebody do this? It turns out the woman was trying to gain sympathy… for herself. How bad were things? In May 2016, when the boy was removed from this woman’s care, the 13-year-old weighed just 51 pounds.
