Wendi Scott Is An Attention Whore
November 21, 2007 by Morbid
Wendi pleaded guilty Thursday to first-degree child abuse. Her sentencing is set for May 8. Wendi Scott, 33, told Frederick County Circuit Court Judge G. Edward Dwyer Jr. she realizes he could send her to prison for as much as 25 years.
Did you think that I was done for the day? One measly story about a ditz who lives in a house that looks like a giant fudge brownie exploded in it? I found a woman much worse than that.
This is crazy-ass, smirking, attention whore, Wendi Scott. To be fair, she is mental. She suffers from Munchausen syndrome and Munchausen syndrome by Proxy. For those of you who are unaware, this basically means she either pretends she is sick for attention, or intentionally makes others sick for attention, usually infants and toddlers.
First, she pretended to have cancer. She fooled everyone, including her husband and church. All of them unaware that she was in fact shaving her head, eyebrows and plucking her eyelashes in an attempt to fake the effects chemo treatments. She did this for a year, until she decided to get attention focused on her 4-year-old daughter. She began to intravenously feed her child magnesium and withdraw blood to make her appear sickly. Her actions induced severe diarrhea, blood loss, vomiting, high fever and rapid heart rate. Thinking she may have leukemia, 72 procedures had been performed on the child, including blood transfusions and bone marrow tests, over a three year period of inpatient and outpatient treatments at Walter Reed. Investigations began when doctors at Walter Reed Army Medical Center confronted Wendi and Sean Scott, who is a U.S. Army major assigned to the hospital their daughter was being treated at, that they had been unable to find a cause for their daughter’s symptoms.
While her daughter was at Walter Reed, Wendi Scott had been posting an online journal documenting the travails of parenting a seriously ill child.
“The doctors are at a loss, but we will continue to go on, and through friends, the hospital and everyone’s prayers, we’ll get through this.”
On Friday, a grand jury to indict Scott on 15 charges, including felony child abuse, assault and reckless endangerment. Circuit Court Judge G. Edward Dwyer Jr. set Scott’s bail at $75,000. Scott is prohibited from having contact with her 2-year-old son and 4-year-old daughter. They are staying with their maternal grandparents in Georgia after being removed from their mother’s custody. She is also barred from Fort Detrick, where her husband still lives, and from leaving Maryland, except to keep medical appointments in Washington.

I really feel like whaling on idiots like that until they finally have had all the attention they think they need.

Wow, man. That is just ate the fuck up.

Okay first off…she looks like a dang nut in the first place. Some women should never have kid’s and this is one of them. Second, was the father charged with anything at all?? I mean he worked at the hospital….and so he should have asked some kind of questions and why does he not have custody of the kid’s I wonder???

He probably doesn’t have custody because of him being in active service I would assume. Or he actually has custody, but they currently have to stay with relatives because of his profession. Also, we do not know what capacity he worked at the hospital. But if doctors in charge of this girl ran 72 tests thinking she had a serious illness, I don’t see why he would question it. He was probably like the rest of the sane people connected, wanting to save a sick girl, thinking that the mother was feeding her magnesium was probably the very last thing on anyone’s mind.

I’m curious…at first Wendi claims to have cancer. She makes herself look like she’s taking Chemotherapy….did folks think she had a miraculous recovery from the cancer? I was just wondering if anyone questioned this in her family or circle of friends.

Oh and plucking eyebrows is a motherfucker, I cannot believe this sister plucked her own eyelashes. That’s one tough bitch.

Thats pretty sick, lucky she didnt kill that poor girl.

Morbid yeah very true about all the test’s being run on the little girl and not many question’s being asked at first. I was very unlucky to get a major medical condition at the age of 10 and at first all the doc’s thought my mom was making me sick on purpose it took them a few months to figure out what was wrong. That was way back in the 80’s….it seems that people now tend to put more trust in doctor’s and a lot of thing’s are missed. Some people can bounce back really quickly with having cancer and she seemed to be the type of person that could really weave a story very well. Maybe she should have started acting or something….it’s kinda like those chicks that claim to be pregnant….gain the weight….go to doc’s visit’s and everything…and then they lose the baby…makes you wonder about their friends and family huh

Hi, CherylB.
Hope you come back to check this, but I have a question. Were you friends with her or just an acquaintance? I am curious about her overall personality.

I cheered with this girl in high school. She was always trying to draw atttention to herself by being hurt or sick. I am shocked she would turn her attention toward her child. She is messed up!
10:46 pm on January 21st, 2008
went to high school w/her!! she was crazy as a loon! told lies, lies, lies on me to everyone! wish i could send this to everyone who thought I was crazy and that she was Little Miss Perfect! . . and by the way – how has this not made it into the Tocca Record (local paper) yet – guess her family still has some pull there! Her husband was a nice, quiet guy! He probably didn’t have a clue!!
10:51 pm on January 21st, 2008
Damn, they must have some pull if your local paper isn’t even reporting on it.

I could email this little article to the news paper. This happened in November. I don’t think people around here didn’t start finding out until around Christmas. My sister goes to church with her parents and the kids have been there with them. I don’t think this will keep quiet for too long. This girl was a liar in school and ALWAYS tried to bring attention to herself. It just pisses me off that she turned her attention towards her daugher!

Wow! This is wild and I would have never guessed this. My sister cheered with her and she spent the night at our house a few time with the cheerleaders. I do recall her wearing a knee brace a lot now that I recall. If anyone can remind me who she married? GeorgiaGirl…. if you see my initials you can guess who this is I bet.

she married Sean Scott – he was very, very smart – he played football

I feel like I’m in the middle of a high school reunion! See what you do for people, Morbid? Bringing peeps together like that…

[...] her MORE medical issues. More information to follow, but man this case sounds eerily familiar to Wendi Scott and a few other cases we have read about regarding this [...]
