A mother who poisoned her five-year-old son to drive traffic to her blog has been jailed for 20 years last Wednesday for
killing him.
Spears who wrote a blog about motherhood was sentenced for murdering her five-year-old son through salt poisoning so she could use his illness to gain social media attention.
Judge Robert Neary said while Lacey Spears suffered from the mental illness known as Munchausen by proxy, she was guilty of a crime “unfathomable in its cruelty.” Spears, from Scottsville, Kentucky, was convicted of second degree murder last month in the death of her son Garnett-Paul Spears.
During the trial the court heard how the woman had given her son lethal doses of salt through a feeding tube because she craved the attention it gave her.
Hmm... End time!
