A 50-year-old mother in Indiana has been accused of neglecting her non-verbal disabled adult daughter so severely that her decomposed flesh left her hip bone exposed.
A Fort Wayne mother who cares for her disabled daughter, who has cerebral palsy and Rhett syndrome, took the woman to Parkview Regional Medical Center to have them look at parts of her body with wounds that were not healing on their own. Her mother explained that they were smaller the previous month but that her daughter kept scratching, causing them to worsen.
The doctors found that the woman’s hip bone and metal rods from a surgical procedure were visible in places where her skin had eroded.
