Toddler died from meningitis after anti-vaxx parents treated him with maple syrup instead of medicine

Two Mormon parents who own a nutritional supplement company are accused of letting their toddler son die from meningitis because they tried to treat him with home remedies instead of medicine.

David and Collet Stephan have pleaded not guilty to charges that they failed to provide the necessities of life to their 19-month-old son Ezekiel, reported CBC News.
Prosecutors in Alberta, Canada, say the couple did not call an ambulance until the boy stopped breathing and instead fed him supplements with an eye dropper and lay down with him.

Yep they are Mormon; and by rejecting vaccines and choosing fad medicine over the real thing, they let their child die. What exactly does this particular bit of idiocy have to do with Mormonism? The LDS leadership is pro-vaccination. http://www.ldsliving.com/Church-Leaders-...on/s/78000

I don't know.  I didn't write the story.  Presumably it meant something to them.

Well, there's this from old Horny Joe Smith:

“I preached to a large congregation at the stand, on the science and practice of medicine, desiring to persuade the Saints to trust in God when sick, and not in an arm of flesh, and live by faith and not by medicine, or poison; and when they were sick, and had called for the Elders to pray for them, and they were not healed, to use herbs and mild food.”

An interesting thing about LDS is with so much folderol committed to paper since God commanded them to be record keeping people, LDS is (or has been) on every side of every issue. Funny way to run a 'religion', ain't it ??

I also note that Joe's statement above may or may not represent his personal beliefs, he wasn't big on following his own pronouncements.

The story doesn't say it was a Mormon belief either. There's no connection. If they said they did it for religious reasons, can you imagine the reporter failing to add that little detail? How about a damned alternative medicine freaks thread?

Sounds good to me.  With any luck they will all be gone in 20 years.

members of the Navajo Nation have sued The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, alleging the church placed Native American children in Mormon foster homes where they were sexually abused and that LDS leaders did not take adequate steps to protect those children.

Seems Mormons have an appetite for people they think are descendants of cursed Jewish tribe. WTF?!
