Anyway, it looks to me that the most major mistake was in thinking it was viral, not bacterial meningitis, in which case antibiotics wouldn't have helped.
I am seeing only speculation it was bacterial, but I'm not seeing confirmation. Was it bacterial? |
The autopsy confirmed that it was a combination of bacterial meningitis and pneumonia.
One little vaccine would have prevented all of this, and he could have lived to drink more ginger tea with horseradish.

To people who said what's the difference, I was actually responding to the poster above me who said antibiotics would have helped. I was just looking for confirmation on that, since what I had read was that the parents thought it was viral, and I was not sure if it was confirmed bacterial. I don't disagree with getting medical attention!

A southern Alberta father has been sentenced to four months in jail and his wife to three months of house arrest, after being found guilty of failing to provide the necessaries of life for their 19-month-old son, who died from bacterial meningitis.
David Stephan, 33, and his wife Collet, 36, were convicted by a Lethbridge jury in April after their trial was told they used naturopathic remedies rather than seeking medical treatment for the boy.

Actually there are a number of cases nationaly (past 2 years) of parents being jailed for not providing necessary medical care to children. The majority of these folks have depending on prayer, which has resulted in dead kids. A simple google will provide you with info. Yes, in some states some religions are protected to a certain extent. But that is not true in all cases nor is it a get out of jail free card.
ETA. I cannot understand how a reasonable parent can stand back and watch their child suffer. And suffer he did.
