Can't step in if the parents and the child deny help. That way people maintain their freedom and we can learn from mistakes and the most stubborn of the masses will be lessons. So pneumonia isn't cured with herbs and smoothies, I figured, but good to know. If I have a kid I'll be sure to take them to a hospital. I don't see the need to remove all personal freedoms, maybe make it mandatory to report serious injuries or something. I don't know it just seems to be an over reaction the other way so often.

That's exactly how it is now essentially. However, there a massive hole in that proposal. How does a 3 year old consent?
