I wouldn't say hole, that's rhetorical in effect. How does a 3 year old consent? I am unsure, however, that unsurety does not necessitate the absolute removal of a parents rights over their children. That's the point, I see the hyper emotional reactionary stance and feel compelled to play devils advocate.
That being said I do have some questions about the case. Why was there no one to step in at the later stages? That's what I don't get, surely someone would step in with reason and forceably remove the child when it's obvious his life was at risk. That part baffles me, was there no community wisdom to see the child was in real danger? The natural medicine culture/community they were in should have had the common sense to step in before it was too late.
