POISONING ONE’S CHILD TO GET ATTENTION
A lady in Australia has been found guilty of poisoning her own child in order to draw attention to herself and win fans and followers on FaceBook. She has been condemned to jail for two to six years.
She fed extremely dangerous anti-cancer chemotherapy pills to her perfectly healthy 2-year-old child. She set up a page on FB to chronicle the child’s “fight for life”, draw sympathy for the child and win attention from the denizens of FB. She had 8,000 fans and received about $ 500 to help pay for the costs of treatment.
The child suffered life-threatening bone marrow failure as a result of the medication.
Facebook is a wonderful tool to connect with family and friends scattered all over the world. How dangerous it is when we are on FB for the wrong reasons!
