Heading: Mulkey and Her Son, Charles

Text: Mulkey enrolled her son Charles in Rock Hill in January 2003. Charles had diabetes, so school nurse Wagner checked his blood sugar regularly. Mulkey received frequent calls from Wagner telling her to pick Charles up from school because his blood sugar was high or he was not feeling well. Mulkey felt that some of those calls were unnecessary. She complained about the calls to Wagner. She then brought her concerns to Evans, who disagreed with her concerns. Evans also suggested the possibility of home-schooling, which Mulkey declined because Charles’s doctor recommended he attend school with other kids. On March 18, 2003, Charles was sick so Wagner tried to contact Mulkey, but Mulkey’s phone was disconnected. In addition, Wagner was running low on medical supplies that Mulkey was supposed to supply for Charles. Wagner, after consulting with the school principal, called Children Services to report possible child neglect. A Children Services investigator interviewed her, causing her no expense or hardship, and then closed the case. Two weeks after the Children Services call, on April 4, 2003, Mulkey moved to her father’s property in another school district and enrolled Charles in that district.
