Father loses custody of boys after refusing to stop trying to cure their autism through homeopathy.

[Ken L]

On one hand, I can understand people faced with their loved ones afflicted with an incurable and largely untreatable condition clutching at the straws that quackery holds out. Then I read:

 

"Another time, the father refused to administer prescribed antibiotics for an infected cut on the nine-year-old’s finger. Instead, he intentionally kept the child from his mother while attempting to treat the infection with homeopathic remedies.

The child’s cut “did not heal but became more infected,” said the custody ruling released Tuesday."

 

The man is clearly a nut. No sympathy from me.
