The 31-year-old mother was initially arrested in March on a charge of serious bodily injury to a child after allegedly falsifying her son’s medical history to hospitals, according to her arrest warrant affidavit. Deputies accused Laura of lying to medical professionals in Tarrant and Dallas counties in order to get her 3-year-old son an unneeded feeding tube.
For the majority of the child’s life, Laura claimed the boy had a list of illnesses, could not eat solid foods and was made to use a wheelchair by his mother, according to the affidavit.
Suspected abuse was reported to Child Protective Services three times before the child was taken away in February and placed in foster care, deputies said in the affidavit. Laura was then arrested in March for the alleged medical abuse, and her two other children were placed in the care of their father.

However, deputies learned after Laura’s release that she had already been in contact with her other children and their father via jail phone calls, according to her affidavit.
While still in jail, Laura allegedly texted the father of her children more than three times regarding when they could meet up after she was released, how she felt authorities were keeping her “away from the boys,” and ways to still be in contact despite the bond conditions. During their phone calls, the two talked about getting a burner phone, and a child was also heard saying “hi mommy, I miss you” to Laura, according to her affidavit.
During another phone call, the children’s father said that he had spoken to Laura’s attorney, who informed him that they could not have any contact until the bond conditions was lifted. CPS detectives also spoke with the father and “made clear” to him that Laura’s bond conditions meant he could not have any contact with her, according to deputies.
On April 2, the children’s father initially told Tarrant County detectives during interviews that he had not been in contact with Laura or seen her in person since her release, according to the affidavit.

Laura was booked into Somervell County jail Wednesday for violating bond conditions in a family violence case. In her affidavit, deputies also accused the father of her children of acknowledging the two were supposed to be following no contact orders, yet still “conspired to and then lied about the violations of those conditions.”
Due to the conditions not being placed on the father, he has not been arrested and is not facing criminal charges at this time, a spokesperson with the Tarrant County sheriff’s office said. As of Friday, the two other children were still in their father’s care, and it is “ultimately the jurisdiction of CPS to determine where the children should reside,” according to the Tarrant County sheriff’s office.
