What a damn shame, somebody sure dropped the ball, poor kid suffering right till the end.
From what I've been reading, she did a lot of 'hospital shopping'. If a hospital didn't do what she wanted, she went to another one. She also moved around a lot. (I think, Maybe, when people would get suspicious about Garnett being sick so much, she would go to another state)
My niece didn't think anything was wrong until Lacey moved from Florida to New York, when she moved to New York, Lacey started posting things about living in Florida that never happened.
Poor kid. Very sad.
I can see how little Garnett fell through the cracks and only hope that there aren't a lot more like him.
Sounds like Lacey put on the "best mom in the world" facade while she was intentionally making him sick to get attention for herself. She cut the boy's father out of his life before birth (he sounds like a loser -- knew she was lying about someone else being the dad, but didn't push the issue til after Garnett was dead). So it was just mother and child in the home.
And, each hospital would only have a couple of visit records before she moved on to another and then moved the little guy to another area and established a new social circle.
Had Garnett been older and in kindergarten, authorities probably would have caught on more quickly with a school reporting excessive absences or teachers noticing problems with the boy.
If Lacey Spears killed her son, sure hope there's enough evidence to lock her up for life and she never has a chance to birth or care for other children. Since she seems to have documented so much regarding Garnett's illnesses and also documented so many of her lies, LE should have a lot to work with. Good.
RIP Garnett Spears.
