Woman Arrested After Mother Discovered Severely Neglected
In Kissimmee, FL, a 46-year-old woman was arrested after paramedics discovered her mother had been left severely neglected in completely unsanitary conditions. Corrine Marion’s 82-year-old mother was found covered in feces and urine. The incident caught police attention when an emergency medical call had been placed to Kissimmee authorities and firefighters responded. The call came from Hacienda Circle and the report was for an elderly woman suffering breathing difficulties.
Police later got a search warrant in connection with the incident after Marion’s mother was transported to the Department of Children and Families. Marion was arrested and charged with neglect of an elderly person. She is currently being held on a $10,000 bond in Osceola County Jail.
According to the report, police only got involved after they were notified by an emergency medical call. Had this call not been placed, the elderly woman left malnourished and in poor health could have died as a result of her suffering. The elderly woman was already suffering from breathing problems when emergency medical personnel had responded to the call. These breathing problems could easily have gotten worse. The environment that the elderly woman was left in could have also been a factor if the woman had been killed in this incident. The elderly woman has now partially recovered from her condition and is no longer in life-threatening condition; however, the damage has been done as a result of her suffering. Nobody deserves to suffer in any way, especially being left neglected in unsanitary conditions.
