Mum used dead son’s benefits to buy fast food, Victoria Secret and holiday

After the death of her son Jordan Brooks, who had cerebral palsy, Lisa Marie Waldron kept using his benefits for a year to pay for fast food and fund a trip to Myrtle Beach

A New York mum who slowly killed her son has been sentenced to two years in a federal prison for using his Social Security benefits to buy food, shop at Victoria’s Secret, and fund trips.

Lisa Marie Waldron, 44, and her husband Anthony Waldron have been indicted by a state grand jury in Oswego County, New York, for charges including second-degree murder following the death of Jordan Brooks. The 17-year-old, who had cerebral palsy, died of horrific neglect, having suffered sepsis and malnutrition, at the hands of his mother and stepfather.

Federal prosecutors said the teenager had bed sores over his body, and an autopsy revealed metal implants coming out of his skin. Authorities said he would sit for days in soiled diapers and that in eight months he lost more than half his body weight.
