Why doesn't the state step in and force kids like her into chemo?

She'd have just grown up to be an idiot like her parents.

Why doesn't the state step in and force kids like her into chemo? The reason the state didn't step is because of the history of state intervention into the affairs of natives Americans here in Canada. If a judge under prime minster harper had of tried to force treatment on a native girl the reserves would be up arms.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

You can't legislate against stupidity.
No God, No fear.

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.

I have no sense of humour when it comes to situations like this. IMO it's manslaughter, at best. The worst thing is that the parent's statement reads like they're satisfied with the outcome. I just want to shake them and shout "Don't you understand? You killed your daughter!! You fucking pricks!"
Sum ergo sum

Functioning gonads are not qualifications for possessing power of life and death over anyone. The parent should have been sterilized before ever the child was conceived.
