A Georgia woman has been arrested after police say she forced her 5-year-old son to take 28 medications and undergo unnecessary medical procedures for two years — even though he really wasn’t ill.
Teresa Lynne Roth, 34, has been charged with child cruelty in connection with the scam, which police say she orchestrated to collect disability payments from the state. At the time of Roth’s arrest, her son was in a wheelchair and on a feeding tube, according to police. The Department of Family and Children’s Services has taken custody of the boy.
“It’s messed up, you know?” Hall County Sheriff’s Lt. Scott Ware says. “It’s not normal.”
