Mother-of-10, suffering with Munchausens by proxy, gets 12 years in prison for poisoning her baby girl with Tylenol
40-year-old Shauna Dee Taylor was sentenced to 12 years in prison as well as 15 years of probation for aggravated child abuse and child neglect.
A Florida mother-of-ten who allegedly suffers from Munchausen's by proxy, has been convicted of aggravated child abuse and child neglect for continually poisoning her daughter with Tylenol and was sentenced to 12 years in prison. The 40-year-old Shauna Dee Taylor was also ordered to 15 years probation after her release from prison.
Taylor was convicted this past August, with the sentencing bringing closure to a shocking case. She had given birth to a premature baby girl in November 2012 and was eventually handed care of her in February 2013. It is here that she began poisoning the baby with Tylenol, an over-the-counter analgesic — a class of drug used to relieve pain — used to treat minor aches and pains, as well as reduce fever.
