美国一名男子对因病长期卧床的母亲撒手不管，任由她“活活被蛆吃掉”，受到判决。
布赖恩·怀特现年33岁，受指控过失杀人和未帮助行动不便者，上月认罪。俄亥俄州汉密尔顿县一家法院4月26日判处他5年社区监管和3个月监禁。怀特被捕至宣判刚好3个月，算作监禁服刑完毕。
怀特的母亲患关节炎，长期卧床，去年7月因败血症在家中去世，当时身上多处溃烂、爬着蛆虫。
4月26日庭审时，女法官乔迪·吕贝斯问他，为什么7年来一直闲在家中，既不工作也不照顾母亲。怀特回答：“我现在希望当时能多做一些。我那时只是没有想。”
检察官马克·皮普迈尔说，怀特“游手好闲，只考虑自己”，“他的母亲所受痛苦令人震惊，但他看上去无动于衷”。
