Lacey Spears, the “mommy blogger” who poisoned her 5-year-old son to death, is complaining about life in the slammer, where she claims fellow inmates bully her, according to a report.
More than a year after the heartless Westchester mom began serving 20 years to life in the shocking case, the 28-year-old complained about her hardships in prison, RadarOnline reported.
“It’s been brutal here. Crimes involving children are considered the worst here,” she told John Glatt, author of the upcoming book “My Sweet Angel.”
“I hear them talking behind my back, calling me ‘baby killer,’ ‘child killer,’ and ‘mother of the year.’ But I know it’s not who I am,” she said in a prison sitdown.
Her sister told Glatt that incensed inmates also have been dumping salt on her food.
“When she walked through the line and it would be her turn to pick up the tray [someone] would put salt packets over her meal and then hand the tray to her,” Rebecca Spears said.
Lacey was convicted of murder in March 2015 after she slowly poisoned Garnett with lethal doses of salt — while she blogged, in a twisted bid for sympathy, that he was falling ill from natural causes.
She force-fed him salt through a feeding tube in the bathroom of a Rockland County hospital, where he had been treated for seizures. The blue-eyed boy, whose brain became swollen, died in January 2014.
The judge did not impose the maximum 25 years to life because he said she suffered from Munchausen by proxy, a disorder in which some caretakers purposely harm their children to garner attention and pity.
Despite her complaints, Spears said she declined an offer to be placed in protective custody because she didn’t want to spend 23 hours a day in a cell by herself.
“It’s been very hard, adjusting to being here,” she continued. “You always have to look behind your back, and I don’t trust anyone. I don’t have any friends, but I have people to talk to.”
Spears, an Alabama native, was living with her son in Chestnut Ridge, a village in Rockland, when he died. She moved to Kentucky afterward and was living there when she was arrested.
Her attorneys had refused to raise the disorder as a defense, and both sides agreed not to mention it at trial.
Spears has continued to insist she is innocent.
“I didn’t hurt him. I never poisoned him with salt,” she told CBS News’ “48 Hours” earlier this year.
