Karen Remsing, World's Worst Mother, Steals Her Dying Son's Drugs at Hospital - True Crime Report
Karen Remsing's 15-year-old son is terminally ill in a Pittsburgh hospital. He's connected to an IV that feeds him a constant drip of sedatives. But since the boy was dying anyway, Karen figured, it wouldn't matter if she stole his pain medicine for awhile...
Karen isn't exactly the loving type. Ten years ago, the boy and his father moved from Vancouver, Washington to Pittsburgh to seek better treatment. He's now on life support awaiting an intestine transplant.
But Karen, a nurse, decided to stay in Washington all those years. You'll soon understand why. So when she finally came to visit, she decided to unplug his IV, which she used to load up her own hypodermic needles she brought with her. Then she injected herself.
But when she tried to hook the boy's IV up again, she let an air bubble into the tube. We're not doctors or anything, but can't that, like, kill you? When real nurses returned to the room, they found Karen passed out on a couch, bloody needles in the trash, and the boy in a new kind of mom-inflicted danger.
Karen has since been charged with child endangerment, theft, criminal mischief, reckless endangerment and possession of a prescription medication. She's also been banned from the hospital and had her Mother's Union card revoked.
