A young woman with severe mental disabilities who was abandoned by her mother at a Campbell County bar last week was made a ward of the state Tuesday. Her mother will not face charges.

Lynn Cameron was left by her mother at Big Orange Bar, 184 John McGhee Boulevard in Caryville, on June 28. She had no identification and could not communicate.

Investigators learned through a tip she was from Illinois and her mother, Eva Cameron, had dropped her off at the bar before driving away.
