Austin police have charged a woman with injury to a child after they said she repeatedly fed her 3-year-old daughter human waste, causing her potentially life-threatening infections.
An arrest affidavit said that a surveillance video at Dell Childrens Medical Center captured Emily Beth McDonald, 23, on Sunday placing feces in her daughters feeding tube. The child had been hospitalized so doctors could treat serious infections caused by organisms consistent with those found in feces.
The affidavit said that hospital staff decided, based on that information, to place a camera in the childs room and that it recorded McDonald taking fecal matter from a spoiled diaper and placing it on the cap of a tube that has a direct link to the childs bloodstream.
According to the affidavit, police interviewed McDonald, who confessed to wiping the end of the tube with feces.
McDonald advised that she knew her actions would cause her daughter to stay sick, the affidavit said. McDonald also explained that rubbing feces on her daughters line could cause her to become septic and that it could kill her.
Bail for McDonald has been set at $100,000. She faces up to life in prison if convicted.

Has everyone in this thread lost their mind ?
Yes, the article is sloppy, and more than likely warps EVERYTHING in the story. But the kind of sicko that directly tries to make a baby sick with feces should be clobbered with a manhole cover.
There is no humor in this, and for those of you who do or did - for shame.

No common ole bread and water shoved into her cell for this creative culinary mom.
Just three trays every day of you-know-what and water for her. Only the best of haut cuisine for good ole mom.

She does have that crazy white trash woman look. Depending on the gal, that can be a good thing.

There are still some valid arguments for sterilization.
