    Dear God, if only…

    She was telling me about how her toddler son fell off the back steps and bashed his head on the sidewalk. Then she said that “he didn’t cry was moving his jaw weird” so she RUSHED HIM TO THE CHIROPRACTOR!

    I held back the urge to scream as I loudly and incredulously asked “Why the chiropractor??? You should have gone to the hospital???” but only got an “oh he was fine, tee hee!”

    She’s putting her poor kids in danger with her horseshit beliefs, and I can’t do anything about it.

    Fucking infuriating.

    I just avoid ever interacting with her now.

      I do believe that not bringing an injured child to the emergency room is legally considered child neglect in Canada and in the US. You can still anonymously tip off CPS investigators about her.

          My hope is that they’ll find out something else you didn’t know about and get the children removed from her. If she’s being medically negligent, what else is she doing to them?
