Illinois woman won’t face charges for abandoning disabled daughter

(MCT) — CHICAGO — While her actions were “inexcusable,” an Algonquin, Ill., mother will not face criminal charges for abandoning her 19-year-old disabled daughter at a Tennessee bar, according to the district attorney general in Campbell County, Tenn.

That was the conclusion of a grand jury that investigated whether Eva Cameron, 45, should be charged with willful neglect and exploitation of an impaired adult, according to a news release issued Monday by Lori Phillips-Jones, district attorney general.
