GUILTY IN - Tiffany Alberts charged with injecting feces in son's IV during cancer treatment, 2016

[glf]

Wow. I have alot of reading up to do here! Sounds like to me, ALL of mom's screws are loose. I can't imagine losing a husband and then not only having two sick kids, but one with a potentially life-threatening outcome, and deliberately doing things to possibly end his life.
When I was became a widow at a young age, I was so afraid something might happen to one of my kids, I was a wreck every time they got a cold, or fell down and got hurt for probably two years before I relaxed and told myself "they're kids, they are going to get colds, scrapes, and bruises just like every other kid on the planet!" I could no more hurt one of my kids for any reason in the world. I wonder if this woman KNOWS she is sick?
As far as her moving out of state, is probably a blessing for her son. The courts may have felt the same way, as in get her away from her very ill son, so maybe he can get well!

P.S. does anyone know if the leukemia is acute or chronic?

From his age and the concern about inducing remission expressed by the physicians, I'd say acute.

I too, was thinking acute. My aunt was diagnosed in April '98, and made the decision to DC all treatment in July '00. We lost her within two weeks.
Mary Jean, I guess you and I are cut from the same cloth! I am an LPN, and I do home care with kids with disabilities, for 10 years. LOVE it!

P.S. don't know how I ended up with a double post, sorry.

glf,
I have the schizo PICU and peds home care background. Now I'm a professor, but am looking at finding another home care case just because I need to take care of kiddoes.
Peds is the best!

 

[glf]

I did take care of sisters, both with chromosome damage, one severely affected. She has a trach, , a vent, a Mickey, two emotions, flat and crying.No muscle strength, no communication, cannot sit up without assist. Loved them like they are mine. The most rewarding nsg jobs ever.
The youngest, Mickey, although she can take a bottle, upper body weakness, cannot hold her head up, cannot sit up, plenty of smiles and cooing, people recognition, no talking, the sweetest disposition.
Unfortunately, we have lost both of them. Sorry I am talking in both past and present tense. When I think of them, it sometimes seems like I saw them yesterday, and sometimes it feels like it has been eons.

Now an additional charge of attempted murder is being sought. Good.

Numbing... the thought process..... a teacher with 5 kids...........if someone tried to pitch this to a studio they would pass

goodness

I know I know some think I think everything is mental illness, what kind of thinking could result in someone "thinking" this might not be dangerous?

In a convoluted way, it seemed she thought if she got him sicker they would transport to another hospital, so in a circular way I want him in a better hospital so he can get well then I do something to make him sick??

The other kids better be elsewhere.

Boy is that backward. It's bizarre thought process.

It is a kind of mental illness- called Munchausen's By Proxy- where the mother gets all the attention for the child's illness. What a sicko! How dare she call herself a mother!!

 

[LinasK]

Really chilling, if you think about it an embolism can be caused by injecting nothing in a syringe , but air ............................................................

and then I thought i wonder if any of "us" can see if :

This illness involves psychological abuse and may also include physical abuse and medical neglect if symptoms are induced rather than just made up.

it would be interesting to learn about her up bringing and "marriage"

Her husbands name is Jason.

[FONT=&amp]special education teacher - very needy population.

[/FONT][FONT=&amp]family......several tragedies over the years

would be interesting to discover what all these "tragedies" involved??

[/FONT][FONT=&amp]a month later, that the woman’s teen son who suffers a mild form of autism was diagnosed with [/FONT]leukemia[FONT=&amp] in July.
[/FONT][FONT=&amp]
lives in [/FONT] Wolcott

his first round of chemotherapy in September and was sent home.

he returned days later with a fever and was experiencing diarrhea and vomiting, according to court documents. ugh.........

had to undergo several surgeries and spent 18 days in the intensive care unit, documents show.

initially told investigators she had injected water into her son's IV bag to 'flush the line' because the medicine he was given 'burned.'

Once Alberts was removed from her son's hospital room, his health improved,

doctors expressed concern they may have missed their window to keep the boy's leukemia in remission and that he could die from leukemia due to the prolonged delay in treatment,

Jason Alberts

been in treatment at Riley Hospital for Children since July 26

Alberts' 13-year-old daughter was diagnosed with follicular adnexal carcinoma cancer that was removed this spring. Can be caused by medications?? Oh brother.

Trying to find out what medications they are.

another thing that hit me, when I saw the following picture, I thought what would make a mother with a child that had (below) on face. I would think a typical reaction would be my teen has some acne, for some reason miss mom here took her eval and guess what she has a skin disease that can be caused by medication?

I think those look like crazy eyes to me. Look how big they are and tiny pupils.

When I hear about these awful medical child abuse cases there seem to be a lot of common themes. Attention seems to be a major one. What strikes me as odd about this case is that her child obviously has a legitimate, life-threatening illness (Leukemia.) That just doesn't seem to match the pattern at all. I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination, but this seems more nefarious rather than psychological in nature.

EDIT: I just read her daughter was supposedly diagnosed with cancer this year as well. So, two children with cancer. The ailments are really starting to stack up. I think we're going to find out this goes a lot farther.

I'm not posting links to facebook pages because they have her children's full names and pictures on them and, while the pages are public and anyone can search for them, I don't necessarily think it's a good idea to post direct links. Here's an article I found that mentions the various tragedies this family has had in the last year alone.

This sounds very outlandish, but could she have exposed her child/children to radiation over a long period of time?

 

[CARIIS]

I think feces that way can kill you

According to court documents, Alberts confessed to committing the crime while her 15-year old son was a cancer patient at Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis.

Alberts said she did it to get her son moved to another unit, where she claimed treatment was better.

Some of the alleged tampering incidents were caught on camera.

Doctors say the boy could have died from septic shock caused by the fecal matter in his blood. Medical professionals said he still may die from his leukemia, due to the delay in therapy. They also added if the fecal matter in his blood was not caught before chemotherapy, he would have surely died during treatments

30th October, 2016:

The event will include a pulled pork dinner, bake sale, raffle, silent auction and a sand dig sponsored by Roth Jewelers...

Proceeds from the benefit will go to help the Alberts family and their five children.

[One son], age 15, has a mild form of autism and in late July of this year was diagnosed with leukemia...

At home in Wolcott remains... a 13-year-old, who was diagnosed with follicular adnexal carcinoma cancer that was removed this spring.
