So you’d be OK with parents not giving their child with type 1 diabetes insulin or treating their child with a treatable cancer with homeopathic quackery instead of chemo? You’d be fine letting these children die in the name of “parental rights.”

These are not hypothetical examples, either. I have dozens of actual cases that I’ve studied over the years. In some of them the child did end up dead.

I might not LIKE it, but I consider that a parent's prerogative

You consider it a parent’s prerogative to let her child die a highly preventable death from medical neglect? From failure to treat a treatable disease?

I'm presuming you would have had to see the child, and hopefully talk with the parents, to be able to determine that. I remember some time ago a friend's son was nearly taken from her because he fell down playing and bruised his forehead...

By 'nearly taken' you mean 'someone flagged a child with severe bruising on his head/unattended playing & it was investigated & deemed not an issue.' literally no social services have the time or resources to remove children for banging their head.

From what my friend said, they kept on interrogating her and not believing a thing she said, insisti.g there as no way the kids could've gotten that thump except from abuse
