Controversial BeliefsSome mugs still think the MMR injection gives children autism (it doesn't), while others are of the belief that we're ruled by billionaire lizard people. Tell us about views outside the mainstream which people go glassy eyed if you bang on about them (Your grandad's a racist - no need to tell us, thanks)

I would have thought that denying medical treatment to a sick child,against the wishes of the child's mother, would have some legal consequences. Particularly if this course of action led to the death of said child.

^^ ThisSurely the permission of the mother alone was enough?
Also, I'm assuming that Phil's a christian scientist?

I believe that it's legal to refuse medical treatment if it's on religious grounds.Although I admit I can't remember where I heard that, so I may have made it up or dreamed it.
Edit: With the mother wanting her child treated it might ne one for the courts to decide. Again I may be making shit up.

I don't know what legal stuff went on between Janene and Philbut unfortunately Digby died well and truly before any of it would have been seen by a magistrate. I couldn't even say what he died of as the church's view was that even an autopsy would have been sacrilegious.
