To get the sympathy of others.. a cheating mother slowly kills her daughter and stirs public opinion

A mother's addiction to the sympathy of others led her to carry out malicious tricks and deceitful plans that eventually led to the death of her daughter after a long and painful journey, after pretending for years that her daughter had a terminal illness, which sparked a wave of sympathy and widespread anger in the American media.

American Kelly Turner managed to convince even experienced paramedics that her daughter Olivia Gantt was ill, in order to get emotional attention as well as money.

The ailing mother has forced her daughter to endure hundreds of tests, take powerful drugs and undergo unnecessary life-changing surgeries, according to the British newspaper, "Mirror".

The cruel story of deception began in 2012 when the mother, who was two years old at the time, was taken to a hospital in Colorado, USA, because she was suffering from severe constipation.

After the girl was brought home from treatment, Turner told doctors that the girl was finding it difficult to eat and struggling to properly digest her food, which resulted in medical care that ended up taking Olivia's life.

The poor girl had to endure more than 1,000 visits to the hospital and perform several surgeries, as the course of her small intestine was changed through her large intestine, which later forced her to receive food from a bag on her stomach, then the mother began to insist that Olivia suffers from epileptic seizures, so she was placed On a strong drug.

Turner then claimed that Olivia's feeding tubes were no longer working, and the girl was given an intravenous drip that left her so weak that she was often bedridden and had to be pushed into a wheelchair.

To gain emotional and physical sympathy she was the mother all the time, documenting Olivia's "problems" online, complaining to people "the cost of traveling to get the best treatment".

To that end, the mum set up a GoFundMe page, which means 'Moloney', to get the money, raising close to £20,000 from kind donors.

In 2017, Turner gave her followers the shocking news that Olivia's condition was hopeless, and that she asked doctors to remove her daughter's feeding tubes, arguing that "keeping Olivia alive is 'unusual' because of the quality of life she is living under the influence of the 'illness' but the doctors They refuse her request, and the ruthless mother finds a new doctor who was willing to sign Olivia's "no resuscitation" order.

Then she asked people to help the poor girl complete her to-do list, and the offers flowed, so Olivia spent time with the police and firefighters, and enjoyed a huge party shortly before her strict medical care was withdrawn at the mother's behest.

Olivia died on August 20, 2017, with her cause of death cited as intestinal failure as a complication of her multiple medical conditions.

But the following year, the mother tried to do the same nasty thing again when she said one of her other daughters had bone pain - perhaps a sign of her bone cancer coming back.

The doctors then did their tests but couldn't find any previous records of cancer, and later found that the girl was perfectly fine.

Which prompted the nurses who followed Olivia's health "problems" to doubt the mother.

Indeed, Turner was arrested and charged with murder, child abuse, theft and fraud.

After initially denying the charge, she pleaded guilty to the felony of child abuse causing negligence that led to death, as well as theft and fraud, but the murder charge was dropped.

Most recently in February, Turner, then 43, was sentenced to 16 years in prison for her crimes.
