A 50-page arrest warrant for Mary Anna Welch accuses her of deceiving doctors into performing needless invasive surgeries on her son, Duke.
She's charged with child endangerment. (NBC News; ABC News)

From the NBC link:
"...A Texas mother is facing medical child abuse charges for allegedly treating her child with medication,
and doctor shopping all the way to Minnesota to find someone to perform surgery on the boy,
even though doctors in Texas say the treatment was unnecessary."
Brain surgery?!?!?!? No words.
