The mother of a British teen who went legally blind after eating a diet of potato chips and french fries says she blames the U.K.'s health care system for her son's illness.
Kerry James, whose son, Harvey Dyer, developed a rare form of malnutrition-based blindness in his early teens, made the comments on the U.K.'s ITV channel Tuesday morning.
Sitting next to her son, who is now 18, James said she is not a bad mom and that she "couldn't have done any more" to help with her son's condition.
"I've done everything," James said. "I know people say it's probably because I'm a bad mom and neglected him. I don't listen to any of that."
However, James said she believes the U.K.'s National Health Service should have done more. She told the program's hosts that doctors "could have saved" her son's sight if they had realized he had a vitamin A deficiency — one of the many nutritional issues that led to his blindness.
"If they'd done the blood test then and realized [his] vitamin A was so low, they could have given him the vitamin A injections then," James said.

Mother of the year right here.
I blane sunspots and Unicorn farts.
She could have fed him multi-vitamins.
Ultimately, most women (especially single mothers) vote for socialist government as if they were wedding it. From this perspective, her blaming the UK healthcare system for her son’s illness makes complete sense. From her perspective, her “husband” screwed up.
That sounds really stupid but many people don’t understand nutrition.
During WWII, the island of Malta was being starved to death. A few shipments were getting through but most ships were being sunk and many aircraft shot down.
During one of their military conferences, Churchill suggested they air drop vitamins to them. Some of his other Generals explained that you need more than vitamins to live.
OR she could have stopped feeding him crap and prepared decent meals.
What a crock-she didn’t know enough to make sure her kid was eating real food instead of garbage-or was someone from the NHS supposed to tell her there was no famine to make people eat nothing but some form of potatoes? Dumbass...
No she was a good mom and couldnt have done any more.
This is what gynosocieties brainwash people into believing. Her own kid is brainwashed into believing this total lie.
This is crazy. She has no grounds for anything other than rightlfully being called a moron.
Lady, you are truly a moron.
The problem with the system is that she’s not in jail for neglect.
Gee, if she was in the world’s only super power she could sue somebody and win.
But he didn’t tell Mom about the Hustler MAgazones he was “reading” while he was eating those fries! (That’s really why he went blind)!
“It’s not my fault that I’m so abu-sive it’s society...
society!”
“...people say it’s probably because I’m a bad mom...”
Ya THINK?
That’s why “single moms” are so lauded by the left. And they’ve turned being a “single mom” into martyrdom. Reprehensible, especially when so many women end up being “single moms” by having sex outside of marriage and ending up pregnant. It’s their own fault.
So tired of it. The moms get to play the victim card, and the kids suffer.
Totally,
His jo’mama needs to be brought up on charges.
Good one.
yeah sounds like my husband’s liberal ex-shrew
