Which is fucking treatable. Half the damn world, my wife included, lives with it every day.
WESTON, Wis. — The mother of an 11-year-old girl who died of untreated diabetes said Wednesday that she did not know her daughter was terminally ill as she prayed for her to get better.Madeline Neumann died Sunday from a treatable form of diabetes.
Her mother, Leilani Neumann, told The Associated Press that she never expected her daughter, whom she called Kara, to die. The family believes in the Bible, and it says healing comes from God, but they are not crazy, religious people, she said.
Apparently they're crazy enough not to get proper care for their children. If we are to believe this report, the child had not been to a doctor since she was 3.
According to Vergin, the parents told investigators Madeline last saw a doctor when she was 3 to get some shots. The girl had attended public school during the first semester but didn't return for the second semester, he said.Mrs. Neumann said she deeply loves all her children and has nurtured them spiritually, emotionally and physically.
Apparently she doesn't love them enough to take them to the fucking doctor. I don't normally agree with taking children away from their parents, but these folks don't seem to have enough sense to raise them properly.
Damnit. And I was trying so hard not to get angry today. It makes me cough.
