So when/if he dies, it will be neglect then? If the mother can show how she cared for him what would be the minimum ammount of care she would have to perform? How would you draw a line and say this is neglect and this isn't? My point is since there is no clear definition of neglect in this instance, and the boy dies it should be considered neglect.
In the article on MSNBC, the mother knew that the X-rays that the doctors had were damaging to her case so she fled. She knows her son will die. She saw that under her plan the tumor grew back to its original size and was spreading. This seems irrational but she probably thinks she will spend eternity with her son in heaven. A young teen of 13 who probably doesn't have a vibrant social life because of his disease isn't likely to have done anything to deserve a stint in hell or limbo. It's even logical then to want your son to die at a young age of natural causes.
If that's the case it's murder/neglect/manslaughter, and we should prosecute the mother after the boy dies.
