BEAR, Del. -- A Bear woman has been charged with trying to poison her 22-month-old son by injecting feces into his bloodstream.

New Castle County police have charged 29-year-old Stephanie McMullen with assault by abuse or neglect, recklessly charging serious physical injury to a child and first-degree reckless endangering. McMullen is being held on $27,000 bond.

McMullen is a former nurse at A.I. duPont Hospital for Children. She's accused of deliberately injecting fecal matter into her son, causing the toddler to be hospitalized numerous times.

Police said they learned about the boy once doctors who had treated him stepped forward, NBC 10 News reported.

The toddler had been hospitalized on six different occasions for serious medical conditions since he was approximately 4 months old. According to court records, the toddler suffered fevers, diarrhea, dehydration and vomiting.

Police said they found needles and confiscated McMullen's computer. Investigators said they learned about several inquiries on search engines for child poisoning. On at least two occasions, the child was hospitalized just days after the searches.

Police said the child's father knew nothing about the alleged abuse, and is not a suspect in the crime. The child is currently in foster care.

Police said the incident is a case of Munchausen syndrome by proxy, a pattern of behavior in which caretakers deliberately try to create health problems in others.

"It's absolutely disgusting ... that somebody or any parent would do this to a child," said one neighbor.

From the way I read that, she was trying to poison her child by injecting fecal matter into the bloodstream??? That's off the "F'ed up" radar scale.

Jesus. Poor kid. He's going to grow up knowing his own mother tried to repeatedly kill him buy injecting $hit into his veins. If that kid isn't going to be screwed up now, it'll be a miracle.

1. pink sock(n) - this is the result of excessive anal plundering; the intestines actually exit through the anus, forming a dangling mass, resembling a pink sock.

When I left prison, I had a pink sock the size of Texas.

LMAO, I would seriously shit a brick if I shit an intestine!

It's sick but it is explained here:

Munchausen's Syndrome by Proxy (MSP) is a parenting disorder where parents, usually the mother, fabricate symptoms in their children, thus subjecting the child to unnecessary medical tests and/or surgical procedures. In some cases, the parents also inflict injury and can kill their children in the process. MSP is not rare in Apnea Programs. Apnea is the perfect disorder for MSP, because infants appear normal between episodes. Therefore, a parent can bring her baby to a medical facility, fabricate a history of an apparent life threatening event, and the baby will be admitted, many tests performed, sometimes even surgery (such as tracheostomomies) are performed. MSP parents can be quite good at this, often switching from doctor to doctor so that it is difficult for one individual to put it all together. There have been documented cases of MSP in apnea clinics. However, these are much rare than "true" infant apnea.
