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 GeorgiaGeorgia reviews 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.
