Jessica Gasser Allegations
Jessica Gasser Arrested. “Jessica Gasser, 27, was arrested in Rusk County last week and is being held at the Tarrant County Jail, sheriff’s deputies said. The sheriff’s office has appealed to the public to help solve a case of “Munchausen by Proxy,” a syndrome whereby a child’s caretaker – often the child’s mother – either makes up fake symptoms or causes real symptoms to make it look like the child is sick. The sheriff’s office said the medical child abuse “has been happening for an unknown amount of time.” Tarrant County investigators believe Gasser has had “multiple unnecessary medical procedures performed on her 3-year-old child.” ” [Fox]
