I hope the time has come when the medical world will be consulted instead of
these so called remedies for serious illness. Its time to have the law step in,
good on em, the parents of a child with flesh eating disease who feed the kid
some kind of seaweed or the equivalent deserve what they get

They do it all the time whether it be with the armed forces, the judicial system or enacting laws on the subject. Thats part of what they are there for.
If the parents of this kid get off the laws need to be changed. This kids death was pointless and easily could have been prevented.
Agreed, but where will you draw the line? Say a parent only lets their child listen to gangsta rap and the kid becomes a misogynist, do we then charge the parents after the kid beats up his GF?
A racist black parent teaches their son to hate whites and he goes around doing the "knock-out game", do we charge the parents?

Parents right now are required to provide the necessities of life. They have to feed them, they have to clothe them. In the case of an illness, that would include seeking medical treatment to prevent death.
Thoughts and philosophies of life aren't the same thing.
depends on what you read...it's call necrotizing faciitis... for the most part I would say no
So Walter what does the government have to do with that child dying? Only you would find something political about a boys death.
Lots. There are a lot of similarities between this unfortunate death and JWs refusing transfusions. Many people insist that is wrong as well. Why should the government be permitted to decide what is best for everyone?
they shouldn't, but a child shouldn't die because of some bizarre held belief by their parent
In society we need to have standards of acceptable behaviour. For example, it's contrary to standards of acceptable behaviour to take the life of another. Is that right? Does that not 'interfere' with our choices?
and that is exactly what has happened here. A child has died because of his parent(s) beliefs.
You cant really charge a person for their views. Well, not in most places anyway. If the kid grows up to be a misogynist he wont be well liked. If he beats up his gf, then he should be charged. There is a huge difference between imparting screwed up views on their kid and neglecting them. The actions this kids parents took led to his death. It was easily preventable.
