The entire comment section is absolutely incredible

Although I largely think reddit is a cesspool I super recommend r/legaladvice and r/bestoflegaladvice for casual downtime reading because it has some of the best schad I've ever seen

For example, I learned that you can get a million dollar judgment over an rear end in a top hat neighbor who thinks he's being clever getting a tree removal company to remove a centuries-old tree he doesn't like on your property

A 10-month-old died after her parents refused to get help for religious reasons, police say

quote:

And he explained why he refused to vaccinate his children, saying: “It didn’t seem smart to me that you would be saving people who weren’t the fittest. If evolution believes in survival of the fittest, well then why are we vaccinating everybody? Shouldn’t we just let the weak die off and let the strong survive?”
. . . .

The parents, both age 27, told police that they had known for at least a month that their daughter seemed underweight, and Fusari acknowledged that they declined to seek help “for fear of having her children removed by Child Protective Services, lack of faith and trust in the medical services and religious reasons,” according to an arrest warrant affidavit obtained by the station.
. . . .

“I’m not opposed to medicine or doctors,” he said. “I’m opposed to bad medicine and doctors that are just, well, aren’t really doctors — they’re priesthoods of the medical cult. They have a certificate from some training camp somewhere that says they got this test score, but that doesn’t mean they know about the human body and stuff like that.”

He explained that he thinks doctors would have to believe in creationism to be able to successfully treat patients.

These people are garbage.

That happened in Alberta (the deep South of Canada) a couple years ago. Antivaxxer parents killed their kid through neglect. Father got a couple months in prision, mother got house arrest. I'm pretty sure they won an appeal or a retrial or something, and are out and about running health and nutrition seminars again. Kept custody of their other kids too.

A local business in my area brought in the dad to do one of those seminars, and even though people found out and they cancelled it, I will never give that place a cent of my money again. I do everything I can to discourage everyone I know from supporting them in any way.

gently caress those people and anyone who enables them.

Michigan doesn't have a death penalty and I really hope the jury is extremely unsympathetic. The dad is just not understanding that it is his fault his daughter starved to death. Here's what he posted on his Facebook (how did he get onto Facebook if he was in an isolation cell? Should I take this down?)

quote:

Heart is about shattered right now.

Woke up to Mary dead in her bed this morning - this evening had our children removed and placed on “no contact” because Tati and I are the worst parents ever - Thankfully they are with grandma and grandpa.

Just numb inside right now. And I'm really enjoying the loving embrace of an isolation cell from the cops and government employees who keep assuring me 'they are only here to help'.

This is how clinical narcissists behave.

More, because I can't stop looking

reddit poster posted:

I actually know these two people. We bought vegetables a ton from them when we lived right around the corner from them. Here are a few things you won’t hear from the news stations.

She is about 6-7 months pregnant right now. Typically, a woman’s breastmilk can “dry up” around this time.

The husband was ultra conservative in his faith and because of this thought modern medicine was pretty crappy. Because of this he wanted his wife to almost exclusively breastfeed.

What my wife and I think happened is that her milk dried up and she either didn’t know or wasn’t allowed by her husband to do anything else to feed the child, and this caused the dehydration and malnutrition.

He always seemed like the dominant type. She was always super chipper and talkative until he came around. My wife and I just wish we had tried to talk to her more and see if she was being abused in any way.

Another friend of mine used to work with the wife and she said the wife would often leave work crying because she had to go home to the husband. We didn’t find out about this part until recently.

Such a horrible situation. I’m a Christian myself, but the extremism these people take it to is just stupid and dangerous.

Its mentioned that the boyfriend (unsurprisingly) hates that side of the family and wants nothing to so with them. So the sister who is on better terms with the brother was made executor because she would be a better "middleman"

If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.

Here's the thing about cases like that though

Welch and Fusari have two older children together, ages 2 and 4. Child Protective Services filed on Monday a neglect case against the parents involving their two eldest children.

There's no joy in that pain. Just tragedy.

Board nothing i'm pretty sure he kicks the kid.

Maybe its his dad and maybe the kid was sitting at the top of the half-pipe scared to actually go down for a long time before this, and finally the dad wanted to show the kid he'd be okay since he was wearing the pads.

But IDK man still seems like a dick move to me. That kid is like what, 8 at the most?

Nah, they just said they were going to doxx them, according to the removeddit. Would it even count as doxxing, since it’s going to be easily obtainable public court records?
