An Ohio mom pleaded to child endangerment after being accused of injecting fecal matter into her childs IV port. Tiffany M. Le Sueur reportedly pleaded guilty to the offense on Wednesday, August 5.
Tiffany M. Le Sueur pleaded guilty on Wednesday after she was accused of injecting fecal matter into her childs IV port, per WTVG.
The 35-year-old’s child was reportedly a patient at the Nationwide Childrens Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, when the crime occurred.
Le Sueur was captured after the hospital staff reported her for possibly injecting a foreign substance into her childs IV port in February. Subsequently, the staff began to monitor the Ohio mom’s hospital visits with her child. Additionally, the medical staff said they believed the foreign substance was fecal matter.
According to WBRC 6 News, a surveillance camera caught Le Sueur going into a bathroom with a cup. Subsequently, the Ohio mom allegedly used a syringe to inject feces into her child’s intravenous port on the footage.
She was later detained by the police, and her child was treated by medical personnel.
Despite the horrifying details of the crime, Franklin County Common Pleas Judge Mark Serrott only sentenced LeSueur to three years of community control.
Additionally, she was ordered to abide by all conditions of an ongoing child services case, per The Columbus Dispatch.
Le Sueur was also restricted from having unsupervised contact with minors following her arrest. In addition, she is scheduled to appear at a follow-up hearing next April.
