Volusia County, FL – I know there are seniors out there who would be elated if one of their children encouraged them to leave the confines of a nursing facility in favor of independent living, especially if said child ensured that their every need is met. However, I don’t think Mary Bosket was truly interested in her 84-year-old mother’s needs when she removed her from the elder care facility. After all, she left the woman alone with 66 cats, 20 ducks, 15 turkeys, one dog, no heat, stopped-up toilet and sinks, and a faulty oxygen machine. Way to take care of Mom, Mary!
Authorities went to the New Smyrna Beach mobile home early Thanksgiving morning after representatives with the Department of Children and Families (DCF) were unable to contact the 84-year-old Mary Phillips. They found the floors covered in animal feces and the air suffused with the smell of ammonia. One room contained caged turkeys (and one loose one); another was the home of ducks and an empty child’s pool. The lone dog had a room he shared with piles of his own feces, and there were two cat corpses in the freezer. Yeah, all the makings for an awesome Thanksgiving Day!
Phillips, who suffers from congestive heart failure, told authorities that she lived alone at the home, although her daughter stopped by “occasionally” to help with the animals. When asked what she did without heat, she admitted that she covered herself with cats to stay warm.
Authorities called Bosket, and when she arrived at the home, she claimed she spent some time staying with her boyfriend and some time living with her mother. Riiiight. She had no explanation for the condition of the home. The cops arrested her, charged her with neglect of the elderly, and are holding her in a livestock pen with 12 pigs being treated for explosive diarrhea.
(Okay, that last bit isn’t true, but I can dream, right?)
The animals–including the geese, chickens, and ducks living in the yard–were taken to the Halifax Humane Society. A neighbor has expressed interest in adopting some of them.
As for Mary Phillips, DCF has taken over her care. Wherever you are, Ms. Phillips, I hope those around you help you have a wonderful, comfortable, and warm holiday season.
And that your daughter checks her stocking on Christmas morning and finds 12 pigs with explosive diarrhea.

God damn, look at the mug on that broad! A face only a mother could love! errrr, wait, maybe not her mother. That trailer trash allowed her mom to live in those horrible conditions-disgusting!
I’d bet dollars to crack rocks, that that withered-up leatherface is missing several teeth. Hey, she looks like something out of that Twilight Zone-The Masks -where a rich old man invites his greedy relatives to a Mardi Gras celebration and tells them they have to wear masks. When he dies that night they take off the masks and look exactly like them.

Hmmmm…daughter doesn’t look in real great hape. The whole right side of her face droops (it’s not just the way that she’s holding her head because even the wrinkles on the right side point downward and the eye is droopy) She may have Bells Palsy or have had a stroke. I can only hope that she will soon be in such delicate health that she will require the help of a compassionate relative, much like her mom did. Maybe a daughter equally as devoted to her as she was her mom.
But I wouldn’t want to send all the animals to her. I think that they can do better. But it would be nice if the feces were carted over to her place and thrown around the house. She’ll just have to lay without the warmth of the cats.
Bitch

Kee-rist (I stole that from someone on here lol). I think someone mixed the pics up, that has GOT to be the mom…… That or the 84 year old mom gave birth at 4, ’cause that wrinkle bag isn’t a day under 80, and since thanksgiving was yesterday I am being generous. It looks like she’s been run over by a large vehicle…. TWICE. DAYUM

Having covered myself with cats to stay warm, I can say this is the brightest part of the picture. There is nothing nicer and cozier than lying among warm, soft, purring cats.
But no credit to this abusive daughter. She didn’t supply the cats for her mother’s comfort.
And all the cats have probably been killed by the pound now.
This woman is so creepy looking — her hair is freshly colored and it looks as if she has had plastic surgery on her eyelids. It’s all very strange with the chola-wannabe brows. I suppose this is a check-mother case, like a check-baby case, except that the check came in for mommy and daughter took it and spent it.

A Bubbaku:
crumpled tin foil face,

insect eyebrows rise.

Jeebus… her evilness is etched upon her face.
5:50 pm on November 29th, 2008
Well hell, how can she take care of mama, when she obviously can’t take care of herself. LOOK AT HER!
9:06 pm on November 29th, 2008
And just think, they probably made her wash off the green makeup and remove the hat before taking her photo.
10:31 pm on November 29th, 2008
Did she shave off her eyebrows then draw them on? What’s the point?
10:49 pm on November 29th, 2008
I hope the same thing,I am a geriatrics nurse and sole caregiver of my elderly mom,shes still healthy enough she lives in senoirs apt building(beside casino lol they love it)both brothers have moved thousands of miles away due to work and its all me.And I am first to admit its very stressful on the caregiver I have had my share of sitting on floor bawling after taking to med appts etc. I cant even begin to imagine neglecting my mom.I make extra food everyday and take it over because if not she would live on cereal,eggs,yogurt,so I know the stress of looking after them but I couldnt sleep at night(as she claims she sleeps at boyfriends 1/2 time)knowing my mom had no heat and all that waste surrounding her I hope she (mom) has a warm and happy healthy holiday season,,and to the daughter KARMA!!We all get older and at some piont need help with something, better hope you kids arent gonna do the same to you!~!But actions speak louder then words and they probrably will follow suit so enjoy your golden yrs you rotten bitch!!!

5:10 am on November 30th, 2008
And a Partridge in a pear tree….
Seriously — all that in a mobile home? Holy shitza!
May moms remaining days be warm, cozy and loving with plenty to eat and drink.
May the daughters’ be filled with nightmares, chills, hunger and paranoia (about Big Bertha)

Cats are supposed to be good for heart-patients as well; but 66 of them?
7:48 am on November 30th, 2008
Just curious: How does one get the cats to stay all over one for the night? Cat-nip?

She is one of those people who shaves off their eye brows only to draw them back on…I cannot stand this practice and it should stop ASAP. It kind of defeats the purpose – kind of like the women who get a sex change to become a man, only to get pregnant and give birth – couldn’t you have done that while you were a woman? *smh*
OK, slightly off topic there (I couldn’t help it)…but seriously, this case is truly disturbing for so many reasons. Just trifling, nasty, disgusting and she needs to be ashamed of herself! Not just for the eye brows, but for how she treated her own mother and how she kept her trailer! Pig pen. I think appropriate punishment for trailer trash like this would be working on a farm w/ animals in the sanitation department, lol.

She’s had a hard life.

I know this is very sad and all that, but this particular line just cracked me up.
