In this shocking account, a mother from Kermit, West Virginia, has been brought up on charges of endangering her child’s life. She could face up to eight years in prison.
The mother, Candida Fluty, was caught on camera removing feces from her son’s colostomy bag and injecting the matter into her son’s intravenous drip.
Fluty’s son suffers from a rare disorder known as Hirschsprung’s disease, which hinders the muscles involved in bowel movements. He was recovering from a surgery required to deal with the condition at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital.
Fluty’s actions appear to have exacerbated her son’s symptom.

Daily Mail has reported that there is reason to believe that Candida Fluty suffers from Münchausen syndrome by proxy (MSBP). This mental illness could explain her bizarre attempts to worsen her son’s illness.
MBPS is defined as a mental disorder or behavior pattern in which the caregiver (typically the mother) fabricates or induces health problems on those they are responsible for. Persons afflicted with MBPS use their caretaker role to receive attention or sympathy.
Hamilton County, (Ohio), Prosecutor Joseph Deters gave these details of the crime. His description appears to corroborate the MBPS diagnosis. WSAZ 3 reported Deter’s comments to a local radio station:
“She put it into his IV,” Deters said. “When she does this, his fever spikes, as you would expect. Again, we’re just thankful the hospital caught this before the child was killed. We don’t believe her intent was to kill the child. We believe her intent was to make him sick, and she succeeded.”
“She was getting money from people on Facebook from people trying to help the child,” Deters said. “She was getting a lot of attention for this. They {Cincinnati Children’s Hospital} have every right to put cameras in their room for security purposes, and they caught her.”
Fluty is out of jail currently on a $50,000 bond, awaiting trial.
