In reply to the discussion: Woman charged for not giving her son prescribed medication for disease [View all]Lionessa
(3,894 posts)17. Based on grandmother's telling, though, and by the mother's having never even
returned the boy to a doctor for any type of follow up or check ups (I'm guessing due to no one knowing she was not doing anything, perhaps not even the seaweed), I'm more convinced that if it hadn't been the "natural" excuse, it would have been some other one.
Particularly with the grandmother who lived with them having never seen any meds of any kind given, I think the mother just did nothing; no pills, no seaweed, and apparently no doctors' visits for this or anything over so many years....
BTW, thank you for the brief as to why anyone might think seaweed would be helpful. I know many of our pills are made from flora and fauna, and some are just fine in their un-processed state to resolve issues, for example MJ.

"Charged FOR" = billed. "Charged WITH" = prosecuted. I hate headlines like this.
