Mother to face criminal charges in son's strep death - CBC NewsAn autopsy found the cause of death was a strep infection, which would have been treatable with penicillin... Police allege the mother did not take the boy for treatment, giving him holistic remedies instead.
"The treatment rendered at home was homeopathic in nature. This would include herbal remedies. The mother refused to take the child to a medical professional. No excuse given — just her belief system," said Staff Sgt. Mark Cavilla.
So instead of standard western medical treatment which would have cleared up this infection, his mother chose homeopathic medicine which ultimately led to her son's death. Does she deserve to be charged?
