Can parents face criminal charges for treating children with alternative medicine?

Can parents face criminal charges for treating children with alternative medicine?
Say a little kid is diagnosed with leukemia. His doctor recommends a conventional treatment plan and the parents reject it in favor of homeopathy, which has not been shown to be an effective treatment for anything. Since it’s basically the same as not giving the kid any treatment at all, could the parents be charged with negligence? Or if he ends up dying, manslaughter?

What diseases / health problems can be passed down in the family for dogs?




Because there are a lot of diseases and health problems that I probably don’t know about, and I would like to know about them so that I know to ask the breeder if the parents have been tested for them and so that I know if it’s serious or not.

As you can see I’m going to make a very responsible owner :P x

Huntingtons Disease parental question?

rare disease
Todd G

Huntingtons is a very rare disease, My father has been diagnosed with it. The facts say that there is a 50% chance of it being passed on to the children from the parents. So my question mainly is, does this mean if my parents started having children at a young age, and Huntingtons doesnt really show up until your in your 40′s normally, would that mean I have any less of a chance of getting it? and they had 4 of us kids, so does that mean I being the youngest, have less of a chance as well…or is it all still 50% chance…I dont get it

Yeast Infection No More

For those with Ankylosing Spondylitis (or if you know someone who has it)?

rare disease
MathGuy

have recently reunited with my father after 13 years and it was a happy occassion. The only thing that worries me is that I found out he has been diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis. I know this is a rare disease to get (even if a family member has it) but it is still in the back of my mind. My questions for those who have Ankylosing Spondylitis are:

1. Do one of you parents have the condition?
2. If you have children, did they develop the condition (assuming they are old enough)?
3. My dad has lost all range of motion in his neck? Is this a general effect or can stiffness of the neck be reduced? I would hate not to be able to turn my neck.

Thanks for all of the help.
