ATTENTION WHORING CAN BE DEADLY: ‘Mommy blogger’ convicted of slowly poisoning toddler while she wrote about his illness.

A jury on Monday convicted a “mommy blogger” of slowly poisoning her son to death while she wrote about his health struggles online. . . .

Investigators stumbled across other apparent lies. Perhaps the most notable: Spears told readers that the father of her son was a police officer who was killed in a car crash. But in reality, Garnett’s father is a garage door mechanic who is still alive. He claims that Spears lied to him about whose child she was carrying and then moved his son hundreds of miles away from him without his knowledge.

From the link about Garnett’s father:

“She went from wanting to be married to saying ‘He’s not your kid,'” he said. . . .

Chris Hill wasn’t in any pictures when Garnett was born . . . In fact, he never met the blonde and bubbly little boy his mother called “Garnett the Great,” even though Hill lived one floor down from Lacey and the newborn boy. He would catch glimpses of him when he and Lacey were coming and going.

“We had already split up, and she was saying he wasn’t mine, and to leave her alone. I only saw her, and him, when she would get out of her car to walk upstairs. I would hear her car door shut, and hear him cry. Then I would look out of my window to try and get a look at him.”

Hill said Lacey threatened to call police if he didn’t keep his distance.
