(Fort Worth, Tx) – An East Texas nurse is in trouble for falsely claiming her 7-year-old daughter had diabetes and allegedly giving the girl unneeded insulin.

For a second time, Ellen Rupp-Jones has been arrested by the Tarrant County Sheriff’s Department in connection with the case.  She was previously arrested last June after taking her daughter to Cook Children’s Hospital in Fort Worth saying she was hypoglycemic.  Doctors at Cook’s found the girl to be suffering from insulin poisoning from unnecessary injections.  New charges against the 36-year-old mother include two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, two counts of injury to a child and one count of exploitation of a child.

Doctors say giving insulin to someone without diabetes can cause a coma or even death.  The child now lives with her father in Tarrant County.
