I bet this is the liberals fault, somehow.

From my friend in the DA's office, the mother is quite apparently delusional, paranoid and not capable of understanding the nature or consequences of her actions.

A horrid story still, but this is why there is the insanity defense.

Thanks McGehee, I thought I included the link, but with stories like these I always do them fast since James has beaten me in the past.

D -

I didn't see where the so called mother was a Christian Scientist. She just seems to be paranoid.

Distrust of the medical profession is instilled in most Christian Scientists, but I doubt that many would let things go that far unless they were unbalanced. Nonetheless CS probably qualifies as a cult. I grew up in a family that was partly CS and no one seemed to be too concerned when my cousin, a fellow who had won two Emmies for producing a well known cartoon series, died of something that no one ever bothered to name. I still can't get an answer from anyone about what his symtoms were, other than the fact that he became very weak. Heart failure? A bowel infection. A nervous disorder? Diabetes?

On the other hand I have a sister who was cured of a fully diagnosed and biopsied stage 2 melanoma. It just "went away." Go figure.

Me too. But since I have not been shy about
expressing an opinion, I will say that appallingly
stupid, idiotic and dangerous that woman is.

I hope her daughter recovers and doesn't make that
mistake again. It is a miracle that she survived
this long.
