Texas woman sentenced after hospitalizing son 320 times and having 13 surgeries done on him by age 8

A Texas mother has been sentenced to six years in prison after confessing to subjecting her son to a series of unnecessary medical procedures and surgeries.

The punishment given to Kaylene Bowen-Wright on Friday comes following her guilty plea in mid-August to recklessly causing injury to a child.

Investigators say Bowen-Wright subjected her son – who is now 10 -- to more than 320 hospital visits and 13 surgeries over the first eight years of his life.

Child Protective Services removed the boy from her care in 2017 after it was alerted by a Dallas hospital that medical staff determined he didn't have cancer or many of the symptoms Bowen reported – and his father, Ryan Crawford, has had custody of him ever since.
