Mother Accused of Making up 5-Year-Old’s Illness to Collect Disability Checks

By Breitbart. A Georgia mother was arrested Thursday for fabricating her five-year-old son’s illness to obtain disability checks, authorities said.

Investigators arrested Teresa Lynne Roth, 34, on Thursday after she spent nearly two years forcing her son to take 28 medications and medical treatments for nonexistent medical conditions, the Associated Press reported. . .

The case began in 2016, when doctors at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta were treating the child, who was three years old at the time, for several medical conditions which investigators say were fabricated.

Health care workers then alerted the Department of Family and Children’s Services (DFCS) and local authorities. DFCS removed the child from Roth’s home in October 2018, and authorities investigated Roth.

Authorities arrested Roth, who faces charges of first-degree child cruelty. (Read more from “Mother Accused of Making up 5-Year-Old’s Illness to Collect Disability Checks” HERE)

Mom Accused of Faking 5-Year-Old Son’s Illness for Disability Checks

By Boston 25 News. Investigators say Teresa Lynne Roth, 34, of Hall County, made her 5-year-old son take 28 unnecessary medications and undergo unnecessary medical treatments for nearly two years.

Roth’s son was on numerous medications, in a wheelchair and on a feeding tube as his parents drew disability checks on his behalf, according to police. Investigators say the boy was not sick and Roth’s actions jeopardized his well-being.

The case started back in 2016 when the boy was taken to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. Doctors were treating the then 3-year-old boy for several illnesses, that investigators now say were all made up. When health care officials became suspicious of the mother, they alerted the Department of Family and Children’s Services. DFCS removed the boy from the home in October 2018 and called the Sheriff’s Office. (Read more from “Mom Accused of Faking 5-Year-Old Son’s Illness for Disability Checks” HERE)
