A doctor with the Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital in Indianapolis then reviewed the child’s case, determining several of the child’s prescriptions hadn’t been filled, including those for seizures and a lung disorder, 21AliveNews reports.
Now, the department says Jackson falsely claimed her child had a terminal illness, sought help from “various charities,” including GoFundMe and got “at least one trip” out of Make-a-Wish, a charity that grants the wishes of terminally ill children.
That doctor says the child suffered “extensive maternal falsification and likely induction consistent with medical child abuse,” 21AliveNews reports, citing court documents.
A 41-year-old mother faked her child’s terminal illness and launched a GoFundMe to send the child to Disney World to meet Princess Elsa, Indiana police say.
The 41-year-old, while going by the name Katherine Conapinski, was previously convicted of theft and fraud after falsely claiming to represent an organization collecting money for a young boy with cancer, 21AliveNews reports.
