Christopher, who is now 10, was exposed to radiation, contracted sepsis multiple times and suffered blood clots from the unnecessary treatments, the NBC station reports. Bowen-Wright had doctors insert a feeding tube and had him using a wheelchair.He was removed from his mother's home in 2017 after a hospital in Dallas told Child Protective Services that Christopher was not sick as she had claimed.
, a mental health condition where a caregiver makes up symptoms of an illness for a person in their care.Ryan Crawford, Christopher's father, testified Friday that he lost years with his son as Bowen-Wright took him back and forth to the hospital. "It was too much manipulation, too many lies," he said, the NBC station reports."I didn't know what to do."Minyvonne Burke is a breaking news reporter for NBC News.
How much time did the Doctors get and who owes him the medical institution. Where were the professional scientists. This means Doctors can make very bad calls for the sake of money.
One fine liberal voter..
This is the future libs want
Abuse kids go to jail. Rot for 6 years you deserve it
Another Didi Blanchard ?
...And Doctors misdiagnosed and treated this child 320 times. This news article sounds like bunk to me!
So the doctors do unnecessary surgeries Umm I think they should be jailed too
Stephen King and the movie IT. Parent does this to her so also.
This raises alot of questions about the doctors. That's the real story
That is the weirdest looking nose
😡😡 Six years is nothing she should be forced to spend life in prison nobody should be forced to do various medical treatments without a logical point in them.
PoliticsNation That's horrible. She needs help, too, though. Munchausen by proxy is a mental health issue. I hope this boy gets the help he will need.
This person needs mental health care. Where the doctors? How did they not realize something was amiss?
Who are these doctors given a healthy child surgeries!!!! Those doctors need to be arrested too!!!!
This woman is seriously un well
Vile human species.
Aaaannd shes a registered Democrat guaranteed....
Another minority hoax. Looks like it’s the norm.
Spaying this creature must be part of sentencing.
Beyond me how a surgeon could operate without clear cause.
Sacerdotus WTF 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Just how incompetent were the medical professionals in this poor child's life? Are they being held responsible too?
Is the surgeon in jail? Maybe the MD was just trying to make money instead of saving lives.
Wait, this story is missing answers to a glaring issue—how does a hospital come to do surgeries or provide radiation treatments for a kid who didn’t have cancer
smh
A vet once did an emergency c section on my chihuahua. Guess what? She wasn’t pregnant! Then made us pay for it! We took her opinion. She was wrong!😡. Heavier penalty for medical professionals!
But this is OK if you’re trans
Mercy
Why didn’t someone step in to get this woman some mental health treatment How could this have gone on so long?
Did she force doctors to perform the surgeries ? A doctor would know there was nothing wrong with the child and wouldn’t perform the surgeries.
Not sure about the US but in the UK this would probably have been picked up earlier...'frequent flyers' are usually noted on the system and the recurring pattern of visits and presentation at hospital would be flagged up through the medical notes.. 😏
Mom-'My son needs a bit of surgery.' Doctor-'Let's have at it, then.' Nurse-'I'll prepare the exorbitant medical billing fees.' Doctor-'Perfect.' Mom-'Great.' Kid-'Da fuq?'
AKA Munchausens by proxy...😏
The real question is how come it took the doctors 320 doctors visits and 13 surgeries to figure it out?
Sounds like she needs mental health care, not prison. I'm surprised Texas cops didn't shoot her. They're big on murdering minorities down there. ThirdWorldShithole
Why would doctors treat if not necessary, especially surgery?
13 surgeries for the kid and NONE of the doctors realized the mom was faking this before cutting this kid open? Makes sense.
Muchhausen syndrome..
How come the doctors fell for it? I mean 13 surgeries? What did they go to medical school for..? I’m sorry, but an investigation needs to happen and the medical professionals involved need to face some kind of repercussions. MunchausenByProxy
She needs to be in a mental institution and let them give her needles, cut her open and pumped up off of drugs and then, she will feel the pain her child had to endure.
What the hell wrong with Texas
Ehhh, wait, i think the Doctors are to blame!! You can’t treat without proper diagnosis..you can’t diagnose based on what a parent is telling you...Sooooo
This mother has a rare and dangerous dianosis called Munchausen by proxy. Her son can not be left in her sole care, however, she is in need of psychologic care, not just prison. I hope she will be diagnosed and offered whatever apppropriate therapy maybe available.
Doctors collecting fees and doing BS surgeries just to make money? They should be charged and stripped of their licenses.
People are ridiculous!
How does this happen?
and what about the doctors....where were they...?
Not all procedures are corrective, many are diagnostic as well. Diagnostic procedures can be performed based on reported symptoms by a patient. For example, a colonoscopy.
Feminists: 'Only MEN are truly evil. Women just have 'mental issues.' We hope and pray she gets the help she obviously needs.'
PRISON WILL NOT TREAT HER ILLNESS
That's all , she should be saying goodbye to Oxygen 👍😡
I have questions. When I tried to act like I had difficulty seeing because I thought wearing glasses was cool, the optometrist—the professional—saw right through it and sent my 20/20 vision, 8 year old behind home! How do you have THIRTEEN surgeries and there’s nothing wrong!
What the F is going on with those Drs?
Doctors- ' we dont see a problem but fvck it let's go through with the procedures anyway '
If he didn’t need the surgeries why did doctors give him the surgeries? Isn’t that medical malpractice? Shouldn’t they lose their licenses and serve jail time?
Where were the doctors? Aren't they supposed to know fake from real?
How does a doctor perform surgery on anyone without first confirming a problem that requires surgery? 🤔
Munchausen by proxy, is it?
This happens to 'trans' kids all the time.
I’d be investigating the doctors who treated him not her!
Hopefully she will never be allowed to be a parent AGAIN !!
“Munchausen syndrome by proxy is a mental illness and a form of child abuse. The caretaker of a child, most often a mother, either makes up fake symptoms or causes real symptoms to make it look like the child is sick.”
What did the doctors get who performed the unnecessary procedures or went along with the diagnosis?
What kind of dangerous doctors were these who did whatever the mother wanted , instead of doing their own job properly and diagnosing the child’s ailments in a professional and sensitive manner ?!
I honestly don't know how this works - The mother claims the child is sick,,, the doctors run tests,,,,, HOW DO THEY NOT FIND OUT NOTHING IS WRONG W HIM?
There's so much I can't put my finger on here, the story doesn't add up at all
How unfortunate that a healthy boy would have all this unnecessary treatment while the uninsured can barely afford insulin. This is health insurance fraud and all involved in these unnecessary medical procedures need to be held accountable.
Clearly, it wasn’t just the Mom who effed this kid up. 13 surgeries?! Radiation?! WTH?
Wait now how did they doctors not know....?
I've worked with a couple of women like this. Munchausen by proxy. She likely did not the child to the same doctor or hospital more than twice. It's harder to catch women like this because they keep moving the child's treatment around to different providers.
Cue the usual idiots....
I don't get it. Healthcare workers did surgeries and other medical treatments not seeing any reasons because she told to? 🤔 What 13 surgeries? I suppose there were something like Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, i.e. to diagnose GI tract.
Muenchhausen Syndrome.
Ummmm. Im in MASS and jesus i go to one Dr. He or she knows everything! Computers. And lol recently have gone in computers over 15 yrs ago. Weird. But i didn't know Texas was a 3rd world country? This is BS! Tests hellp on kid. Wtf. Take mothers word for it. BS
Classic case of Munchausen by proxy.
I don't get it. Healthcare workers did surgeries and other medical treatments not seeing any reasons because she told to? 🤔 😧
should have gotten a lot more than that.
She is ill, but what kind of Dr. can do this? They’re as much to blame or more so than she. Name them and blame them, they need the true investigation.
Mother of the year Murica
WTF? how the hell & WHY the hell could she manage to get away with and do such a dastardly thing? how could doctors (not all quacks i assume!) OPERATE on a HEALTHY child without appropriately proper diagnoses of illness? HOW? WHY?
Was the child transitioning?
This POS can rot in hell. However, how the hell did the hospital perform treatments and surgeries on “fake” illnesses?!? Did they do zero medical research or testing beforehand? What the hell.
You can sentence this MONSTER BUT NOT CARE ABOUT THE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE BEING POISONED AND PSYCHOLOGICALLY IMPAIRED BY CORRUPTION? REAL SMART
Racist Texas cop got 10 years for murdering a man in his home.
Annnnnd I'll bet the taxpayers picked up 100% of the bills.
Shame on her, but what the hell of the so-called healthcare professionals who kept operating on and medicating a healthy child?
valerieangel7 Gypsy rose
Only 6 years
They are both to blame
Munchausen by Proxy. It’s a disease.
How do doctors cut open a healthy child 13 times without realizing something is up? Child services is a notoriously shady organization and this story doesn’t ring true. I’d love to hear the mother’s side of the story, because I bet it’s completely different.
IQ of 48. Hundreds of them in my neighborhood
Now that’s the way to do it
Did they consider whether she needed mental healthcare rather than jail.
Mira que hay gente loca en este mundo. ¿Qué madre hace esta estupidez? La deberían haber sentenciado a más años. Espero que el hijo no le hable más en su vida.
WtACTUALf is wrong with people? The worst thing in the world is watching my kids be sick and not being able to make them better, even if it's minor like a cold or migraine. This is unfathomable to me.
How can doctors give surgery to a person that do not need them 13 times
This world.
Amazing that doctors are manipulated by a mother. You cannot give treatments without knowing the patient's disease. Even in surgeries, laboratory tests, plaques, electrocardiograms and others are done. It can not be true; even in a place of charity.
Munchausen syndrome by proxy.
Munchausen’s by proxy is very difficult to detect. The parents tend to cause legitimate illnesses by infecting IV’s, etc. And once suspected it is hard to prove, and you still have a sick child to treat.
I would have loved to assume those 'Doctors' would have realized this 'before' those Surgeries. or was getting $$$$ more important than actually telling him he didn't need it?!!
Not enough time
So what was the surgery for, so you are telling social media that this Texas mom diagnose this lil child and told the doctor where to cut him, these doctors had see something to operate
Sorry but... it seems like the doctors who performed procedures on a patient that didn't need it is malpractice....
What is with the doctors who do all this treatment?
The Drs need their licenses suspended
Sad, as child America did not steer me or many poor/working class black Americans to become doctors. Being a patient of immigrant or non black doctor, you sometimes question there commitment to profession when they are hired in poor black communities not there desired area.
That seems to be a failure on the part of medical personnel as well. To be duped for so many years and not have investigated symptoms or complaints is tragic.
She earned it!
Thank goodness, that poor child
Let me guess this happened in Florida?
But how? Wouldn't the medical Doctors know the surgeries weren't needed?
Surgeries? What kind of doctors are these? The kind that just want to make money?
This is just another example of big government gone wrong.
I’d say this is somewhat on the doctors...
That's it. I'm getting off Twitter now. I've read 5 crazy stories in a row.
Munchausen by proxy is well known disease. So sad for the kiddo 😞
It does not speak well of our medical system that such a thing is even possible.
That sentence seems too fucking light…
Wow. Münchausen by Proxy for real.
It’s called Münchausen syndrome by proxy. It’s a mental illness. She needs mental health treatment, not jail.
Give her an extreme illness instead. Aids anyone?
,D
You BUMS at should Post the News that matters you SlimeBuckets! Follow the Assassination of AtatianaJefferson ...
What about the Doctors that performed these treatments and surgeries he didnt need? Never seen a Dr. that would just take someones word that they needed a surgery.
She's clearly mentally ill
This woman doesn’t need incarceration she needs treatments
. She got off lucky. .
320 hospitalizations? And not ONE Dr. picked up on it over all that time?
Munchausen syndrome by proxy.
Are you sure this wasn’t in N.C.? Hell I know someone that should be charged as well
Munchausen syndrome by proxy. My whole life I was made to believe I was sick when I was until I grew up now I I grew up with makes you sick to your stomach~eminem
And the doctors didn’t realize he wasn’t sick before operating? How much time are they getting in jail?
Finally a hospital raised a red flag about the boys health.
Umm what about the doctors? Did she fool them too
Can she be sterilized?
You can't force a doctor to perform surgery or any type of treatment he/she does not think is required. But then, most healthcare workers are total idiots.
Münchausen syndrome.
Those darn Dreamers! Deport all illegal aliens back to their respective countries
Munchausens
It never fails to amaze me what Munchausen’s parents will do to make their kids sick or appear to be sick. When a doc or hospital doesn't fall for it, they quickly move to another, with a false history of med problems, which docs work with before suspecting the truth.
The doctors should too
Wait a minute! How about the doctors who 'treated' him and operated on him? Common, the doctors should head the same direction for operating without proper scrutiny
'Christopher, who is now 10, was exposed to radiation, contracted sepsis multiple times and suffered blood clots from the unnecessary treatments, the NBC station reports.' 😡🤬 'Christopher is now in the care of his father and is said to be happy and thriving.' 😊🥰
Those doctors probably shared the profits with the mother
It’s crazy how people who don’t deserve lengthy sentences end up in prison for life and then those who do deserve them end up getting...6 years?
Who are these people! Horrid
Only 6!
So doctors can ignore their own education and take the word of someone outside the medical field? Bullshit! Doctors don’t listen to black women anyways when it comes to their bodies or a child’s.
Psycho mothers are worse than guns
Wait why were doctors performing surgeries if he didn’t need any?
Whoever performed those surgeries should be in jail too.
think the doctors are just as liable as the mother. they should know to report abuse or not get involved
Prison won’t cure Munchausen’s. The doctors are just free to collect money from these unnecessary surgeries? Someone needs to go back and start this investigation over. The doctors aren’t without fault here.
Gypsy Rose all over again.
How come the doctors went along with it
Mom-'Excuse me doctor, but my son needs a bit of surgery.' Doctor- 'Sure, let's have at it, then.' Nurse-' I'll prepare the exorbitant medical billing fees.' Doctor- ' Perfect.' Mom- ' Great.' Kid- ' Da fuq?'
