A mother from Missouri was arrested for stealing pain medication from her terminally sick daughter and using them to fuel her opioid addiction. The daughter was prescribed fentanyl and oxycodone to ease her pain. The shocking discovery was made after the doctors spotted bed sores on the girl and decided to screen the girl's urine. They could find no trace of the drugs.
46-year-old Carol Ballweg was the main caregiver for her 20-year-old daughter who is only known as 'CM', according to New York Post. Carol had to give her daughter fentanyl and oxycodone for pain, the Troy Missouri Police said in a statement.
