Five months later, on suspicion of poisoning her kid, Lacey Spears was apprehended and convicted of second-degree murder, according to the site.
We examine the tragic incident involving Garnett and his mommy blogger Lacey Spears as the matter once again gained attention on social media.
A QUICK GUIDE TO LACEY AND GARNETT SPEARS
In 2008, Alabama-native Lacey Spears, a mommy blogger, gave birth to Garnett.
She began sharing updates on his life and health difficulties on social media soon after he was born.
According to CBS, Garnett’s health problems began only a few weeks after his birth, and Lacey was forthright about his situation on CBS’ 48 Hours.
During that time, Lacey said, “He was in and out of the hospital for the first nine weeks of his life, and then — even for a length of time afterwards.”
And the largest issue we faced was getting him to eat. He was so losing weight… He just refused to nurse, to take a bottle, or to eat baby food.
During this time, Lacey blogged under the name Garnett’s Struggle and posted about Garnett’s health journey on Facebook and Twitter.
Tragically, Garnett passed suddenly in January 2014 from an unexpected illness.
ON TIKTOK, THE GARNETT SPEARS CASE BECOMES VIRAL
After an investigative documentary aired on ID this week, the Garnett Spears case started to trend on TikTok and Twitter.
Garnett was admitted to Nyack Hospital in New York shortly after becoming five years old because of seizures.
The youngster was brought to Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital in Westchester when his sodium levels reached a peak of 182, which is quite high. His sodium levels had been 138, normal.
Despite the fact that Garnett’s illness became better, the elevated salt levels made his brain expand. In January 2014, Garnett passed away.
Despite Lacey’s plea of innocent, the jury convicted her guilty of second-degree murder for poisoning the victim with table salt.
WHAT HAPPENED TO LACEY SPEARS?
At the Bedford Hills state prison for women, Lacey is incarcerated for 20 years.
The court decided to hand down the maximum sentence of 25 years to life. Because he believed Lacey had Munchausen by proxy.
The disorder is characterized by parents or caregivers intentionally harming their children in order to get their attention.
By the time Lacey is eligible for parole, she will be 46 years old.
