AUSTIN (AP) — An Austin
woman accused of causing a string
of medical emergencies to children
in her day-care center is not' smart
enough to have done it, a.physician
testified Tuesday.
“She’s not savvy. She’s not clever.
She’s not scheming,” testified Dr.
Kent Anthony, a defense witness in a
civil lawsuit brought by the state to
permanently close Lou’s Day Care,
owned by Mary Lou Gardner.
Anthony testified in the non-jury
trial in state district court there were
sound medical reasons for each of
the emergencies.
The Department of Human Serv
ices filed the suit after discovering a
five-year history of medical emer
gencies at the center, which has been
temporarily closed since last month.
The cases include seizures, choking,
breath-holding incidents and the
December 1982 death of 16-month-
old J.T. Rice, who was rushed from
Lou’s Day Care to a hospital.
“I feel children are at great risk in
her home just because of the num
ber of very serious incidents, life-
threatening incidents to children in
her care,” testified Ann Glenn, a
DHS investigator. “I don’t know
what is happening, but something is
happening and children are at risk
there.”
Earlier in the trial, three doctors
testified for the state that as many as
15 medical emergencies involving
small children at the home have oc
curred since 1982. They said the
children were victims of Munchau
sen’s Syndrome by proxy, which
they said is diagnosed when a care
giver causes medical emergencies in
children.
Anthony testified that that Gard
ner could not have Munchausen’s
Syndrome because of her “profound
lack of understanding of medicine”
and because she is sincerely con
cerned about the children.
“Mrs. Gardner is a baby-sitter. She
is loving. She is incapable of hiding
child abuse,” Anthony said.
He said the physicians who testi
fied for the state “had a charade
played on them” and had based their
decisions on incomplete informa
tion.
“We see a more logical expla
tion for each of these (emergens
than child abuse,” he said before
fering case-by-case reasons for
incidents.
Asked about the death of ft
Anthony said, “1 don’t think he®
normal healthy child.” The ix»
parents have said they do notUm
Gardner for the death.
Gardner concluded her test*'
Tuesday by denying she had caw
the medical problems.
“Absolutely not. That’s rkfc
lous,” she said.
Gardner also complained ate
the DHS decision to interview!
three children Monday in respot
to a confidential complaint al*
possible child abuse involvingte'
year-old daughter Kimberly, *»
suffered some type of seizureinh
cember.
“My kids were so upset
ing. I can’t believe you coulddot^
to kids,” she said.
Janice Gammill, DHS assistant 1
gional attorney, said the

routine investigation.
