I am the one getting bashed over the head with the attack hammer...and ***I**** didn’t go run to the mod ;-)
Yeah, I suspect one of the ladies here, perhaps the one who started the thread, might have done that. I understand her annoyance at the posts being side-tracked from the main topic. But that getting side-tracked happens all the time here at FR. At least, for as long as I’ve been here. I have never seen anyone get ticked enough to complain to the mods though. It’s getting a bit Gestapo all of a sudden, eh?

http://library.adoption.com/articles/definitions-of-child-abuse-and-neglect-florida.html
A parent or legal custodian who, by reason of legitimate practice of religious beliefs, does not provide specified medical treatment for a child may not be considered abusive or neglectful for that reason alone, but such exception does not:
Eliminate the requirement that such a case be reported to the department;
Prevent the department from investigating such a case; or
Preclude a court from ordering, when the health of the child requires it, the provision of medical services by a physician or treatment by a duly accredited practitioner who relies solely on spiritual means for healing in accordance with the tenets and practices of a well-recognized church or religious organization.
