21-year-old mother Amber Brewington was arrested on Tuesday night after a nurse found her injecting a salt water solution into her four-month-old son’s feeding tube. Her son is currently in critical condition from Sodium Poisoning at a Pittsburg, PA hospital.
Amber Brewington apparently tried to poison her son a number of times using a salt water solution while he was receiving treatment for seizures and possible brain damage in hospitals in Tennessee and Pittsburg. Brewington’s reasoning is that she wanted to speed up her son’s death to stop his suffering.
Police believe Amber Brewington emptied four to five syringes full of sodium solution into her child in efforts to kill him. When he was admitted into Children’s Hospital in Pittsburg, he had one of the highest recorded levels of sodium in his body, even for an adult.
Amber Brewington has three other children. She will be arraigned in a Pittsburg court on Wednesday.
