Vancouver woman accused of stealing ill son's drugs at a Pennsylvania Hospital
A mother visiting her terminally ill son at a Pennsylvania hospital has been accused of injecting herself with the boys drugs.
Karen Remsing of Vancouver was charged over the weekend with child endangerment, reckless endangerment, theft, criminal mischief, and committing prohibitive acts including possession of the prescription medication. Authorities say the 42-year-old mother was visiting her 15-year-old son at UPMCs Childrens Hospital of Pittsburgh when she unhooked his intravenous line, siphoned out a sedative using a syringe and injected herself with it.
Authorities say Remsing then reconnected the IV line and left an air bubble in the tube which put her son in further danger.
Remsing is being held in the Allegheny County Jail and her preliminary hearing is set for Wednesday. It wasnt immediately known if she had an attorney.
Remsings husband, Richard Remsing, told TV station WPXI of Pittsburgh that he and his son moved to Pittsburgh 10 years ago so the boy could be treated while his wife stayed in Washington to work. He said the boy needs an intestine transplant and is on life support.

Workers said there was blood covering the bathroom and on the mother, but Remsing said it was a result of her cutting herself while cutting her fingernails, police said.
