FL Woman Feeds Daughter Tapeworms to Make Her Lose Weight
Some people will stop at nothing in order to keep their children in beauty pageants.
This is appalling to say the least. Oh, and this happened where? In Florida, natch.

Woman Feeds Daughter Tapeworms (to Make Her Lose Weight)
When a teenage girl arrived with a ******* stomach at a Florida hospital, pediatric E.R. nurse, Maricar Cabral-Osorio and her fellow staffers thought the girl might be pregnant, but an ultrasound showed no signs of a baby.
At some point, the patient went to the bathroom and started screaming. "It was a toilet bowl full of tapeworms. There were a couple that were very long and wiggling around trying to get out of the toilet bowl."
One question remained. "We were wondering how did she get those tapeworms, and then you saw the mom turn white," Cabral-Osorio said. "The mom was apologizing to the girl: "I'm so sorry. You know, I did it just to make you a little skinnier. You needed some help before we went on to the pageant."
Cabral-Osorio said the mother admitted giving the girl pills with tapeworm eggs.
