Probably a touchy subject but im not sure where the lines of medical neglect lie. A coworker of mines 7 year old son has had a fever of at least 100F for the past four days and she wont take him to the doctor. Shes just rubbing him down with more and more essential oils every day, continuing to bring him out and about all the time, and providing no other help to try to lower his fever. She brought him into work this morning(at 6am nonetheless) and the poor kid was lethargic, begging to be taken home, and freezing with his coat on in the lobby. Im not sure if theres grounds to call in to CPS and have them look into it or not, multiple coworkers and myself are very concerned for the kid, his mother refuses to even give him tylenol. Shes giving him exclusively essential oils, even making him drink them in tea, and she is VERY proud of it, shes told every single one of us that she has not and will not be taking him to a doctor or giving him any kind of medicine. Tomorrow is 5 days of him having a fever and it hasnt gone down, she says its fine and it will go away with the oils, but shes been upping the oils every day and this morning his fever was 101 when she tested him with the no touch thermometer at work.
Update on my last post. My coworker who was the shift lead when she brought him in has called our GM, who has called CPS. Shes already stated she has no intention to take him in and after the shift lead texted urging her to take him to urgent care shes responded saying again that she will not be taking him to any doctor and that the oils are working. CPS should be there sometime tomorrow morning to do a wellness check and they have asked to have the texts sent to the police to be handed over to CPS should they pursue a case of medical neglect against her. I just hope the poor kid gets the medical attention he needs. Hopefully theyll call his dad and be able to get consent for treatment from him so he can get some help sooner rather than later if she fights them on letting him be treated.
Dad's FB Video!! Did anyone see that video a dad posted on his daughters FB page? He saw a post she made where she bashed her parents and cursed them, called them lazy and told them they should pay her for stuff she did around the house... So he called her out on it and put the video on her page!! Sorry if I missed a post already about this already, but I just saw the video and IT WAS AWESOME!!! Hahahhaa!
2 month shots Please tell me how your children reacted to the vaccines? I'm so scared of him getting a fever, he hasn't been sick yet and the thought tears me up.
this is getting old. I'm so sick of my parents and their stupid drama. My mom will not allow me to have a relationship with my dad. Every time I text him or call him, she interferes. She'll actually yell at me for doing things with him! WTF!

Oh thank goodness. Does your coworker understand that you can over use essential oils and end up with a toxicity?

No she claims that its impossible for them to be toxic. Because theyre "just oils"

wow. She wouldn’t be putting anything in, on, or near her child that she doesn’t understand at all

I hope this is well documented for the dad to get full custody of that child. Wonder if he could also technically press charges. All the same, I'm glad that child is finally getting adequate medical care.

Theres at least a dozen texts between her and coworkers and between him and her to prove his case. And i think he can press charges for medical neglect or at least child endangerment. I hope he gets full custody too!
