A shocking neglect case out of Indianapolis, Indiana, has a 75-year-old mother facing felony charges, this after she was accused of leaving her adult daughter on the floor, between a bed and a wall at home, for a whole week, allegedly because she wanted the paralyzed victim to “get up on her own.”
Records show that Rose Chavis was booked into jail in Marion County on Thursday on two charges of neglect of a dependent resulting in bodily injury to her 40-year-old daughter. A probable cause affidavit obtained by Law&Crime said that the victim, “diagnosed with Cerebral palsy, paralysis on the left side” and having “other physical/mental impairments” that make her an “endangered adult” under the law, fell out of bed in September and was not helped for a whole week, even though her mother and caregiver was allegedly “aware” of the fall.

Court documents began by noting the investigation began on Sept. 13, after authorities received a call about the alleged neglect at a residence on Lancashire Court, where the suspect and victim lived together. Three days later, the victim was still hospitalized with an infection that “would most likely require” her to be sent to a “rehabilitation facility,” documents said.
