Remember the autistic 5-year old who died of a heart attack?

Yeah, it's been confirmed as the chelation. Naturally. This isn't really news.

Fucking hell. His parents should definitely be charged with a crime.

Heh, riiiiiiight. When people who more blatantly kill their kids and admit it get off scot-free, you think they're going to get any blame or punishment?

Well, let's see. Subjecting your kid to an unproven and dangerous "medical" treatment could (and should be, imho) be considered child abuse and reckless endangerment. Since the kid died, I think a case could also be made for manslaughter.

But yeah, realistically I doubt anything's going to actually happen to the parents.
