FOX 35 Orlando
A 68-year-old Florida woman has been arrested and charged with attempted first-degree murder and aggravated abuse of a disabled adult after allegedly overdosing her two severely autistic sons with medication and then attempting to take her own life. The incident occurred following the death of her husband, which reportedly made caring for her sons increasingly difficult. All three individuals involved are expected to survive, with the sons to be placed under the care of Florida's Adult Protective Services once they are released from the hospital.
