This is just disgusting, a 41 year old woman took her 21 year old son to the woods in Philadelphia and left him there to potentially die whilst she traveled to visit her boyfriend.
Amazingly, he was still alive 5 days later when he was discovered by someone walking by the woods. He had been left lying on the woodland floor with a blanket and a bible and his wheelchair nearby.
Her son does not talk so, he must have just led their and hoped The mom has been arrested so hopefully will get what she deserves!
Obviously he's in the middle of a wooded area. You have wild animals there ... this kid could not defend himself. He does not function at all.'
Walker added : 'What we've learned so far is that the 21-year-old child lives with his mother, completely dependent on mom as a result of his condition.
'She also has a 16-year-old son who is staying with other family members. 'We know she left for Maryland on Monday to go see her boyfriend on a bus.' The man had been reported missing from class at Philadelphia's School Of The Future on Monday.
However, when a teacher called Parler she told them they were both in Maryland and he was well.
The son was hospitalized with dehydration, malnutrition, a cut to his back and eye injuries.
According to Philly.com two of his aunts, who are with him in hospital, have been trying to obtain guardianship for years.
Parler's other son, a 16-year-old, is said to be in the custody of an aunt.
A neighbor, who declined to be identified, told DailyMail.com: 'She used to push him out to the school bus in his wheelchair, she seemed to care for him. Whenever I saw him, I saw her.
Obviously this is completely unacceptable. But what gets me is, how unnecessary this is. I dont understand what the lady was trying to achieve with this act. If she was trying to get rid of him, this was a terrible plan.

I see it as a selfish and despicable act. But the care of someone so disabled without respite is a huge burden. There are means to obtain a much needed break, and also seems as if family offered her a way out. She deserves to pay the price for such a cruel and stupid act.
