115. Yeah., so? I think they withheld antiseizure medication from that child, and that's why
he died from a seizure. Unless the people who did the autopsy are "assuming" or "speculating" too. I think the parents' actions, or their lack of actions as a consequence of their membership in that cult, contributed to the death of that kid. I think an AG ought to look into it, too--but since they cremated the body, they've done a good job of muddying those waters, even with a halfassed Bahamian autopsy.

If the dead kid were in a group home setting, receiving regular therapy and a cocktail of antiseizure meds, he'd probably have had at least some language skills and be better controlled, seizure wise. He might also be free of any problematic behavior problems that may or may have not arisen.

If you think that speculation is "wrong," then by all means, don't do it.

But you shouldn't try to control the behavior of others on a DISCUSSION board.

The idea isn't to tiptoe around and hold your teacup with your pinky in the air, the idea is to air opinion.

As far as this issue goes, that's mine. If you don't like it, fine. But don't ever try to muzzle people--that's just not on.
