Speaking as somebody who raised a step-grandson because of abuse by his mother I can honestly say there was a moment where if we had both been on a balcony only one of us would have used the door, as it was I convinced my x that keeping him from her was quite important and if she called the police one look and the police would not be giving him to her. That being said I probably wouldn't make the best Lawyer for her.
(insert joke to lighten mood before leaving thread)
You say you have had two wives die in you, one from poison mushrooms and the other from a fall down the stairs. I don't think the jury will rule 2nd degree murder just because the fall was a result of her not liking mushrooms. exit
I'm also thinking she had no shortage of boyfriends that wanted a kid hanging around like they needed another hole in the head. Some probably offered her more money for him than they were giving her for herself if crack like issues are involved.

After choosing prayer over modern medicine, and depriving their daughter of life-saving care, Travis and Wenona Rossiter will each spend 10 years in prison for manslaughter in the faith-healing death of their 12-year-old daughter, Syble Rossiter.


Late Friday, Judge Daniel Murphy imposed the 10-year sentences despite defense attorneys objections to sentencing guidelines.


In Oregon, first-degree manslaughter is a Measure 11 crime that carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years in prison.


Last November, an Oregon jury found Travis and Wenona Rossiter guilty of first-degree and second-degree manslaughter in the death of their daughter, Syble Rossiter, 12, who died of diabetes complications in February 2013, at the family home in Albany, Oregon.


The jury found the couple recklessly and negligently caused the death of their daughter, who died from diabetic ketoacidosis.


The Medical Examiner reports the girl died from complications of Type 1 diabetes, a treatable medical condition. Deputy District Attorney Keith Stein said on the day of her death, Syble Rossiter was extremely thirsty and dehydrated, vomited and urinated out everything she took into her system, and was so weak she couldn’t stand. Stein said:
This is a situation where she could have been saved quite easily

The state does have the right to step in, they just don't want to pay the fine for doing so, left unsaid is that the money paid to the family would also help the child and I'm sure Revenue Canada could be talked into helping them make sure the books are in order every year until hell freezes over.

I'm assuming first aid in prison is an option that was not put on the table as part of their benefits, making the possibility of actual time served as being quite a bit less should serious illness take hold of them.

Maybe it goes on all the time and X-mas is just more exposure. Should make it pretty clear we shouldn't be running anything let alone the world.

But at what point do we call it all off? Granted Diabetes isn't a very good example but what about the little girl that refused more chemo? Do we force kids to be medical experiments until they are 19 and can say no for themselves?

No.
I believe that if people learned to listen with their heart without invoking what they believe or trying to impose their personal believe system or lack there of onto another human being things would work out just fine.

If a child is rational and has an illness where the outcome will be death sooner than later, they know how they feel physically, they know when life here becomes unbearable for them and if they choose to go home earlier than the cancer is allowing, then that is their choice. I believe they should have that right.

Each situation has to be accessed accordingly.

While I tend to agree with you the problem still lays with who gets to do the assessment. It is not a simple question by any means.

No it is not a simple question. It needs to be a team doing the assessment. The parents and child need to be a part of that team. There is much emotion tied up in such decisions and people bring all of their baggage with them. And all of their fears.

Hanging in the morning and trial in the afternoon as in the 'old west' seemed to have speeded up confessions for the upcoming ones, . . . . just sayin . . .

If Christians are led to believe heaven is a better place. How can they be convicted of anything else for believing it was best for their suffering children and sent them there. Either the Church is lying to them or the courts are denying them their rights to their religious beliefs which are supported in the constitution.
