Jaye Dee Watts, 44, is charged with felony murder by caretaker abuse and kidnapping, cops in Oklahoma City said on Wednesday. Lynda Watts shot herself on Sept. 10, but Jaye Dee Watts, her primary caregiver, is responsible, officers said.

She allegedly called the older woman a toddler and “take your pill or choke on it and die.”

“Oh, I’m raising a 72-year-old toddler,” she allegedly said. “I can talk to you however I f—— want to.”

She then left the bedroom and returned with a handgun. She showed her mother how to remove the gun from the holster.

Watts got a drill and told her mother she was going to lock her in the bedroom, according to officers in the KOCO report.

I am lost for words.

Poor Lynda.

I understand life can be hard, especially when you've been through chemo and then are looking after your mother who has dementia... but leaving her with a gun to let her kill herself like this is just cruel.
