Don't go there…

If they refused chemo for no reason, wouldn't this be manslaughter?

Or if they refused it because they said they know more about the treatments than the doctors, that's not OK, is it?

Why is it OK to let your kid die due to superstition? Surely the government should step in and save the child's life if the parents are incompetent. They don't own the child.

That's how I feel, rob. I'm sure that in the UK, the parents would be prosecutable under Child Protection legislation.

She could've grown up to be anyone. Now she'll never have the chance because of those fucking morons.

As if I wasn't in a bad enough mood as it is.

Read the story closely.  SHE initiated the stoppage of chemotherapy and the parents supported her.

This should be classified as a suicide.

Oh really?

Is someone allowed to make that kind of decision about themselves at age 11?

I did, and it's at that point that the parents lost any right to decide what was best for their 11 year old child. It should be classified as at least manslaughter.

The poor thing never stood a chance, in no way could her decision be considered anything resembling an informed one.

Hey Min, I'd suggest that, at the tender and legally irresponsible age of 11, her 'decision' was more than likely highly influenced by her parents views & wishes. I say that to be politic.

My emotions are screaming that the parents fucking told her to say that shit because they wanted to make their daughter look like a 'good example' of their faith. The parents killed their daughter for the sake of their egos!

There aren't insults deep enough for what they've done.
