What this mum did to make her daughter lose weight has caused outrage

In a recent episode of the US TV show Untold Stories of the ER, a particular story in which a mum fed her teenage daughter tapeworms to make her skinny has caused outrage.

At first, doctors thought the teenage girl may be pregnant. However, this was ruled out after an ultrasound was carried out by doctors. The awful truth was revealed when a nurse heard the girl screaming in the toilet, and when they check on her, the toilet bowl was full of worms: “It was so gross and she had pooped all these tapeworms. There were a couple that were very long and wiggling around trying to get out of the toilet bowl … We were wondering how did she get those tapeworms, and then you saw the mom turn white. The mom was apologising to the girl. It’s like ‘I’m so sorry. You know, I did it just to make you a little skinnier. You needed some help before we went on to the pageant.”

It turns out the girl’s mum got pills containing tapeworm eggs in Mexico in order to help her daughter lose weight.

Perhaps after this horrifying incident the mum has learnt that nothing is more important than your child’s health.
