Betty Nelson

Betty Nelson is the birth mother of Leo.

Soccer Injury
During soccer playoffs, Betty tore her ACL. She had surgery to repair it and was given ten days' worth of opioids for the pain. She ended up addicted to them and moved on to other drugs when they ran out.

Giving Birth
Betty got pregnant by a drug dealer and gave birth to Leo. At some point after his birth, he was put into foster care and went to live with Owen Hunt.

Leo's Checkup
When Leo got his six-month well-baby checkup, Betty was told she could come and she did. While he was getting a shot, Betty stepped out of the room and talked to Amelia, who offered to buy her breakfast. While they were eating, Betty told Amelia what had happened that led to her life being how it was. In response, Amelia decided to take Betty in and help her get and stay clean. When Betty showed up to come home with her, Amelia laid out the rules for her and then they went home with Owen and Leo. ("Bad Reputation")

Detox
Amelia helped Betty get through her detox, which involved lots of vomiting. Betty was angry with Amelia and took the withdrawal out on her, which Amelia said was fine. Amelia became worried when Betty was spending a long time in the bathroom, she went to check on her and found that Betty had left out the window. ("Bad Reputation")

Return
Betty came back to Owen's house. She said she'd been clean for six days and missed Leo. Amelia took her to work and kept Betty in her sight all day. Betty later confessed that she'd been too high to miss Leo and came back because she got cold, which Amelia already knew. She then took Betty to a meeting. ("Cold as Ice")

Familial
She has a son named Leo who is currently in foster care.
