Woman Poisons Her Own 5-Year-Old Son With Salt

,

Charged with depraved murder and manslaughter in the death of her son is this 27 year old Lacey Spears of Scottsville, Kentucky.

Lacey was intentionally feeding her child salt at toxic levels. The boy's sodium levels rose to a dangerous point with no medical explanation,  leading to a swollen brain, seizures and death. It is believed that the single mother, who was sharing hospital room with her son at Westchester Medical Center, administered salt through a feeding tube into Garnett's stomach.

All the while, she was keeping followers up to date with 28 online postings in the last 11 days of his life.  She had tens of thousands of entries over Garnett's lifetime, many about his doctor and hospital visits.
