Mother and two children lived with corpse
Posted May 10th, 2008 by minortopics | via www.foxnews.comA mother, apparently off her rocker, subjected her two children, ages 12 and 15, to live amongst the decomposing body of a 90 year old woman because the mother thought that if she prayed enough, she could bring the elderly woman back to life. (Ohhhhhkkkkaayyyy…..)
MADISON, Wis. — Two children and their mother lived for about two months with the decaying body of a 90-year-old woman on the toilet of their home’s only bathroom, on the advice of a religious “superior” who claimed the corpse would come back to life, authorities said Friday.
The children — a 15-year-old girl and a 12-year-old boy — cried hysterically Wednesday after a deputy who came to their Necedah home looking for Magdeline Alvina Middlesworth ordered them out because of the stench from her body.
The children were in foster care Friday. Their mother, Tammy Lewis, and self-described “bishop” Alan Bushey remained in custody on felony counts of being a party to causing mental harm to a child.
