Reply #10: COLD? HINDSIGHT? Puh-lease. How about EXPERIENCE, and COMMON SENSE?

I have raised two healthy sons.

If they ever had diarrhoea or a fever, I usually treated them, myself. BUT ONLY TO A POINT! If symptoms got worse, I took them to either emergency or to their paediatrician. There were a few times in their lives where I had to do EXACTLY THIS.

Even if I was in the country illegally, I would NEVER have let something as stupid or arbitrary as an immigration law stop me from getting my children the treatment necessary, period. NEVER.

There are just some games you don't EVER play.

The "parents" are 100% to blame, as far as I am concerned. "Bad calls" are for hockey, not for the lives of your children.
