mother wants the best for her. However, media reports show that life can be different than we expect. This was the case with seven-year-old Olivia Gant from the United States. For years, the girl’s mother told doctors about diseases that were supposed to affect her child (including intestinal failure), and she collected money from numerous collections and foundations.

She convinced the doctors that her daughter was ill. For years, she subjected the healthy child to numerous therapies
Renee Turner gave birth to Olivia in 2010. Two years later, the girl was first hospitalized in Colorado, and she did not end up there until the end of her life. Two-year-old Olivia, according to her mother, was to struggle with painful constipation. After the child defecated with a little help from the doctors, the woman began to report further problems (including an aversion to food and poor digestion), prompting the doctors to investigate further.
Over the next 5 years, Olivia was hospitalized more than 1,000 times and underwent several gastrointestinal surgeries. After some time, the feeding tubes, according to Kelly Renee, were no longer enough, so the girl began to feed the girl intravenously through nutritional drips. The mother also informed doctors that she suspected her daughter had autism, developmental delay, and even brain fluid. Over time, numerous treatments and therapies weakened her to such an extent that she no longer had the strength to move other than in a wheelchair, and she spent most of the day in a hospital bed.
She collected money from donations and foundations. No one realized Kelly Renee Turner’s lie until the death of seven-year-old Olivia
People touched by the story of little Olivia wanted to do their bit to help a sick child. Her mother willingly sent the newspapers pictures of a smiling girl in the hospital and informed with the help of social media that they still did not give up and were fighting the diseases that were destroying her body. She never left her daughter’s hospital bed an inch. She wrote that health care was expensive and was collecting donations for her treatment. In 2017, she publicly announced that there was no medicine on the market that could help Olivia, and that her daughter was terminally ill. Over time, the information about the child’s condition was publicized so much that the woman managed to collect about 22,000. dollars for treatment.
In July 2017, Kelly Renee Turner forced the doctors to disconnect her daughter from the apparatus. Though they refused, she found a doctor who agreed to her demands. She said that she wanted her daughter to say goodbye to the world peacefully, because further fight for her life would not bring results. She also asked that no further action be taken to save Olivia. The child could not survive without drip nutrition, so he was placed in a hospice, where he was to leave after disconnecting the apparatus. At first, the girl was cheerful and sang songs from her favorite fairy tales, and later, due to lack of food, she began to weaken. She passed away on August 20, 2017. The cause of death was given as intestinal failure and complications from other diseases.
Little Olivia’s mother still wanted publicity. She informed about the illness of another child
In 2018, the media became famous again about Kelly Renee Turner. The woman informed that another daughter complains of numerous bone pains, which may be a complication of cancer a few years earlier. After hearing the news, doctors began searching for the child’s medical records, but no evidence of the condition was found. The lie aroused the suspicion of doctors who notified the local police. People wondered if Olivia’s illnesses were also made up. Finally, a decision was made to exhume and examine her body. The results shocked the public. It turned out that the girl was healthy and did not suffer from intestinal failure or other diseases that her mother had talked about in the media for years.
Kelly Renee Turner went to trial. It turned out that all the child’s illnesses were a lie
Over time, it was proven that all the procedures performed on little Olivia resulted from her mother’s insistence. The woman said she didn’t care about publicity, but she defrauded the healthcare system of about 538,000. dollars. It was established that the mother was her tormentor, and all the diseases of the child were invented.
In 2019, Kelly Renee Turner was charged with child abuse, murder, fraud and theft. The woman made a settlement, but she said she was innocent to the end and did it to spare the family stress. The second daughter, who was to suffer from cancer, was perfectly healthy and never complained of bone pain after being taken from her mother. Olivia’s mother was sentenced to 16 years in prison.
