CARYVILLE, Tenn. (CBS) — A developmentally disabled Algonquin woman abandoned by her mother in a bar in Tennessee has been made a ward of that state, after prosecutors determined her mother didn’t break any laws when she left her there.

As WBBM Newsradio’s Mike Krauser reports, Eva Cameron, 45 – according to news reports from Tennessee – told police she didn’t want her daughter, Lynn, anymore.

Lynn Cameron cannot communicate, and for 10 days, police had no idea who she was.

News coverage of the disabled girl abandoned in a bar led to tips from 10 states, including the one that checked out and led to Lynn Cameron and her mother.

Speaking to the Northwest Herald, Eva Cameron said she brought her daughter to Tennessee because it has the “number 1 health care system” in the country, and that her church had directed her to the state because it has a larger population of Baptists.

Lynn Cameron suffers from multiple disabilities, including cerebral palsy and visual impairment, the newspaper reported.

Eva Cameron told the newspaper that she also has another disabled child and couldn’t handle caring for both of them. She called the fallout from her choice to leave her daughter behind “just a big hoopla out of nothing,” the Northwest Herald reports.
