At least in America people are treated better.

No judge in America would interfere with parental rights.

no sirrreee...

And here in America, no judge would force another human being to die by starving them to death or refusing them water.

And at least here in America people would refuse to follow the cruel orders of an heartless ass in a black robe...

No judge in America would interfere with parental rights.

Really? In any circumstance?

Most civilised societies have found means to intervene between a child and his parents if there is a reasonable suspicion that the actions or inactions of those parents, intentional or unintentional, may cause harm to that child. Most advanced societies have branches of the justice system dedicated to arriving at a resolution which is in the interests of the child. The issue in this sad case is not whether such systems should exist, but whether the just resolution, which truly protects the interests of the child, has been confirmed.

Except in Florida...

The state ordered execution of Terri Schiavo will never be forgotten, nor forgiven.

The vast number of people who actively thirsted for her death by starvation and dehydration, claiming a feeding tube was artificial life support...shocked me to my core.

I understand little Charlie needs more than mere food and water to survive.But the vast number of people thirsting for his death is eerily similar.

Prayers sent for Charlie Gard, and his parents.
