Is this case a misunderstanding, or criminal medical child abuse? We will have to wait and see.

A woman has been arrested for allegedly putting something in her child's intravenous line at Cincinnati Children's hospital, records show.
Candida "Candy" Fluty, 35, of Kermit, West Virginia, was arrested on charges of child endangerment and felonious assault over the weekend, according to inmate records.
She "knowingly injected a substance into the victim's peripheral IV line" in a hospital room, the arrest report reads.

Appearing for the first time since being arrested during the weekend, Candy Fluty stood before a Hamilton County judge during her arraignment Monday morning.
The 35-year-old, who's from Mingo County, West Virginia, is accused of injecting a substance into her 9-year-old son, Elijah's IV while he was being treated at Cincinnati Children's Hospital.
According to the criminal complaint, charges were filed based on Fluty's own statements and video evidence. However, investigators have yet to say exactly what Fluty is accused of putting into Elijah's IV.
In court Monday, Fluty's attorney told the judge the entire situation was a "total misunderstanding," but the judge said the court was concerned about the fact Fluty took it upon herself to inject the boy, according to the allegations.
Elijah Fluty's aunt Katie told a Cincinnati TV station Candy Fluty was arrested for allegedly putting saline in her son's IV line. The aunt claims the boy had a blood clot, and Candy called for a nurse. The aunt says before the nurse could get to the room, Candy pushed saline into her son's IV system.
