British Justice Hah!

A mother who kept her son in a wheelchair for five years and convinced him and doctors that he could not walk has been jailed for four years and banned for life from working with children on her release.

He was only three when the woman from Middlesbrough, Teesside, launched her plot to keep him dependent on her. He was referred seven times to paediatricians who also carried out blood tests, but they could find no explanation.

The "mother" (SIC) who cannot be named for legal reasons, told family members that he needed the wheelchair because he was in pain and he suffered from joint swelling and mobility problems.

She also lied to her GP that the youngster was having fits and chronic constipation, and he was given medication.

The boy finally suffered a fit after she gave him an overdose, and she was unmasked when an ambulance crew caught her trying to hide the medication.

BUT

She will be allowed to have her own child back how mental is that!
