A Mom Accused Her Of Being A Predator Because She Visited Her Hospitalized Child
While there are often a lot of depressing scenes in a hospital, one of the most depressing is seeing a sick patient with no visitors.
A mother recently got into trouble with another child’s mom after she repeatedly visited her daughter in the same hospital her kid was in because she thought she had no one visiting her.
She is the mother of a young girl who is tragically in the hospital for organ failure as a result of an eating disorder.
She doesn’t have to work and feels fortunate to be able to stay at the hospital with her daughter all the time.
During her daughter’s stay, she noticed there was a teenage girl in the room next to her who was admitted for her intestinal disorder. She found out her name was Mila, and she was only 15-years-old.
“She’s been here for about three weeks now [and] she always leaves her door open so she can talk to anyone hanging out by her room,” she explained.
“I decided to start talking to her because I’d never seen her with a visitor, and she’s really a sweet kid.”
She learned a lot about Mila’s background, including that this was her sixth hospital stay, and she kept getting readmitted because her medications weren’t working.
Mila explained that she has a mom but that her family lives two hours away from the hospital, and she has four other siblings, so her mom can’t be there more than once or twice a week. To make things sadder, Mila’s dad hadn’t visited her at all.

“Over the next few days, she’d call me into her room when she’d see me waiting in the hall, and I just started going to her room when I couldn’t be with my daughter,” she said.
“We talk, play cards and board games, and I [sometimes] run some small errands for her, like picking up her Target orders, washing her clothes, getting snacks, etc.”
The other day, she and Mila’s nice relationship was ruined when Mila’s mom arrived at the hospital and was furious to find her playing cards in her room.
Mila tried introducing her to her mom, but her mom was creeped out and demanded to know why she was in her daughter’s room.
She explained to Mila’s mom that her daughter was in the room next door and that she figured she’d give Mila some company whenever her daughter needed space, or she couldn’t be in her room. She also told Mila’s mom she thought it’d be nice to do, considering Mila was often alone.
“Well, Mila’s mom was [angry] with the nurses for letting some random woman in her kid’s room and [angry] with me for ‘criticizing’ her parenting,” she added.
“Apparently, Mila is autistic, and that meant she wasn’t capable of inviting me into her room. I had no clue she was autistic, and [her mom said] that me going in there made me a predator.”
When she returned home to tell her husband what had happened, he agreed that Mila’s mom was being overdramatic, but he told her it was a bit strange to spend so much time in a “random” kid’s hospital room.
Were her actions weird, or was she just trying to be friendly?
