Woman Accused Of Abandoning Quadriplegic Son In Woods Extradited To Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- A woman accused of abandoning her quadriplegic son in the woods for four days is now behind bars in Philadelphia and will face attempted murder charges.

Nyia Parler waived extradition in Montgomery County, Maryland.

Investigators say she abandoned her 21-year-old son near her Cobbs Creek home earlier this month, so she could visit her boyfriend in Maryland.

A pedestrian found him lying on the ground with only a blanket and a bible.

He remains in the hospital.
