Prosecutor: Mom accused of poisoning...July 26, 2010<br />Prosecutor: Mom accused of poisoning daughter with feces found with a child<br />Emily Beth McDonald, the woman accused of smearing feces on a catheter leading to her daughter’s bloodstream, was found by a child welfare official last week with a child, a violation of her pretrial release, according to prosecutors. <br /><br />A hearing has been scheduled Friday on a prosecutor’s request that state District Judge Julie Kocurek revoke McDonald’s bond before trial.<br /><br />McDonald, 24, who could face a life sentence for injury to a child, is free on a personal recognizance bond. As a condition of the bond, Kocurek has ordered McDonald not to have contact with children. <br /><br />During a May hearing McDonald’s lawyers unsuccessfully requested that Kocurek allow her supervised visitation with her children, who at the time were 4, 5 and 7. <br /><br />It was her 4-year-old daughter that McDonald is accused of injuring on April 15, 2009, at Dell Children’s Medical Center. <br /><br />According to a motion filed by prosecutor Jackie Wood, a Child Protective Services worker made an unannounced visit to McDonald’s parents’ home in Manor on Tuesday and found McDonald with an approximately 3-year-old child at her side. <br /><br />In an interview, Wood said she did not know the identity of the child with McDonald. <br /><br />“The defendant placed her hand on the child’s head and stated, ‘Now that you are awake, I have to go upstairs,’ and left the room,” the motion stated. <br /><br />Wood argued in the motion that McDonald’s actions and the nature of the accusations against her “indicate she is a great danger to children.”<br /><br />“The defendant’s flagrant disregard for the court’s order further illustrate this danger,” Wood wrote.<br /><br />The 4-year-old girl was admitted to Dell Children’s Medical Center on April 15, 2009, with a high fever and “a long history of chronic diarrhea,” according to an arrest affidavit. Blood tests came back positive for bacteria commonly found in feces.<br /><br />Hospital officials set up a hidden camera in the girl’s room after she continued to have setbacks in her recovery and after they had to replace her intravenous lines several times because of infections or clots in the lines, the affidavit said.<br /><br />On May 31, hospital staff reviewed the tape and saw McDonald smearing feces on cap to her central venous line, the affidavit said.<br /><br />A central venous line is a catheter inserted into a patient’s chest or neck into a vein or directly into the heart. It allows the quick insertion of medication or fluids and allows monitoring cardiovascular measurements. <br /><br />McDonald told police that she had smeared feces on her daughter’s central ventricular line cap five times during her daughter’s six-week hospital stay, the affidavit said.<br /><br />At the time of the May hearing, McDonald’s lawyer Bob Phillips said her two youngest children are living with her husband, who is their father, and the oldest child is living with her own father.<br /><br />Phillips, who could not be immediately reached, called her a “troubled young woman” who “needs treatment and counseling.”Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977345618474243123.post-89896587372177742252010-07-26T18:37:30.993-07:002010-07-26T18:37:30.993-07:00July 26, 2010
