Boy Taken To Hospital 323 Times, Given 13 Unneeded Surgeries By Mom Reunited With Dad

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — An eight-year-old boy who was subjected to 13 unnecessary surgeries by his mother will be reunited with his father just in time for the holidays.

Ryan Crawford has reportedly been granted temporary custody of his son, Christopher Bowen, after the boy’s mother was charged with injuring a minor this month. Kaylene Bowen-Wright was arrested after taking her son to hospitals a staggering 323 times, with claims that the eight-year-old had a variety of different illnesses including cancer and a breathing disorder.

“God answers prayers. We’ve been praying for eight years,” Christopher’s grandmother, Nelly Crawford told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. “This is a day we’ll never forget and celebrate… he’s going to be well taken care of because he is loved.” Ryan Crawford has reportedly been fighting the court system for several years after a judge banned him from seeing his son in 2012. Bowen-Wright had requested the ban after Crawford refused to believe her unfounded claims about their son’s health.
