The Shauna Taylor case was a 2018 criminal trial involving the investigation and conviction of Shauna Dee Taylor, a Floridian housewife who had poisoned her prematurely-born infant daughter (unnamed in public sources) with Tylenol and iron supplements, causing acute liver damage due to iron poisoning, from which the child unexpectedly survived.
[4] Shauna was diagnosed with Munchausen by proxy and convicted to 12 years in prison for aggravated child abuse, with 15 months of parole to follow.
Annie Taylor alleged on Dr. Phil that she had been given unprescribed insulin in glasses of milk by Shauna when she was a child, with no medical advice from a doctor or nurse.
Josh Taylor reported children, including himself, being put in dog cages as a form of humiliation while Shauna shouted profanities at them, being force-fed milk and money (metal coins that he would be made to swallow whole), and forcibly drugged with various over-the-counter and prescription medications.
[10] Shauna Taylor was 40 years old and a resident of Macclenny, Florida, when she had an infant daughter born premature in late 2012, whom she began bringing to emergency rooms in 2013 for unspecified illnesses.
Because the child survived, her name was never revealed by public news sources, and Shauna moved on to another state for habitation, leaving the case largely buried.
[14] Shauna was arrested in Albany, New York, extradited to Florida and tried for the intentional 2013 poisoning of her infant daughter, by the point at which roughly five years had passed since the incident had occurred.
