Tough Reading about Lexus Fuller

The affidavit filed in Tazewell County, Illinois, that alleges that Kellie Waremburg of Pekin tried to kill her daughter, four-year-old Lexus Fuller who has cerebral palsy, can be read here as a PDF file.
Although Waremburg’s individual struggles with raising Lexus were not known Thursday or what was the exact reason behind the alleged attempt to kill the girl, her case is similar to that of Karen McCarron, the Morton woman who allegedly suffocated her 3-year-old autistic daughter, Katherine, and told police she “wanted to end her pain and Katie’s pain.”
This paragraph is from a June 23rd article in the Peoria Star-Journal, Expert: Cerebral palsy a challenge for families.
Raising a disabled child like my nine-year-old autistic Charlie is a challenge.
And Charlie is a lovely, precious, sweet, and beautiful gift I love more and more every day, and learn more from, each and every day.
