Probably is neglect.
Probably is fake.
This contacting CPS may involve severing your ties (such as they are, anyway) to the parents and your grandchild but you have to decide if the child is in health danger due to the care she is or is not getting from their parents. I would side with making sure the child is safe and weeping at the loss of family contact. This type of decision is between you and God, not your kids.
“”But the two of you COULD contact child protective services and ask if they agree that what’s happening is negligence.””
.
And that would be about the last time they see the child.
Good `ol mumsey needs to pull her head out and realise where this can go.
Nothing wrong with not having the kid hit with 2-5 vaxxes at a time but the kid is sick and it doesn’t sound like something a vaxx will handle.
.
Definitely fake.
Odds these days what’s considered “lifestyle choices”, immune to scolding from advice columns or action by Child Protective Services, and what’s considered “gross negligence”. Those labels have changed dramatically in the past few decades.
Every child need some vaccinations, but the pro-vax crowd would have you taking a dozen vaccines every day of your life.
The parents are idiots. They seem to multiply especially the last 3 years.
I remember my mom telling me that when they announced Salk had invented a vaccine for polio, she and her friends (all young mothers) rejoiced.
Polio was a scourge for her generation - and they saw the effects all around them.
They also had great trust in government and their institutions - something clearly lacking today.
This wreaks of FAKE! The anti vax portion tells the story
GROSS negligence in whose eyes and legal authority? A 5 year old child not yet in school (where vaccination requirements are actually enforced by threat of not-enrolling the student?)
[I’d not have a problem with normal mumps, measles or rubella vaccinations, but I never let my children get the combined twofer/threefer shots. I had the doctors do the vaccines individually, spaced out over time.]
Dr Andrew Saul of doctoryourself.com says that he raised his own children to adulthood without them ever seeing a pediatrician. Vitamin C will cure almost anything, but you have to actually give it, and in large and frequent enough doses to be effective. It sounds like these parents aren’t doing that.
More Pfizer / Moderna propaganda, I imagine.
But even if true, depending on the doctor, taking a child to themm could be abuse. Many have exchanged their Hippocratic Oath to be a Hypocritic Oaf.
In my opinion, not getting vaccines is less of a concern than not getting medical care for a child who is sick.
Not in favor of every different vacine, is something different that not taking a child to a doctor after two months of a serious illness.
We did not see doctors a lot when I was child, but our illnesses were usually brief and we quickly got over them with over the counter and “home remedies” (got a sore throat?, go gargle some warm very salty water; my mom would say.)

I understand that this situation has been difficult for you. Here are some tips to help mend your relationship with your daughter-in-law:
1. **Respect Your Child’s Choice**:
- Remember that your child loves your daughter-in-law, even if you don’t fully understand their perspective.
- Avoid saying negative things about her to your child. Instead, find constructive ways to express your concerns or boundaries.
- Stay neutral and refrain from pushing your child away due to disagreements.
2. **Stay Cordial and Polite**:
- Be polite and respectful when interacting with your daughter-in-law. Treat her like an acquaintance, even if you’re not particularly close.
- If she behaves rudely, address it calmly. For example, if she curses in front of kids, you can say, “Can we watch the language while the kids are here? They get into trouble for saying that word.”
- Sometimes, daughter-in-laws may feel threatened or insecure, leading to rude behavior.
3. **Set Clear Boundaries**:
- Establish boundaries early on. Let her know what you will and won’t tolerate.
- If she makes snide remarks about other family members, respond calmly but firmly. For instance, “She may not have much fashion sense, but she is one of the sweetest people I know.”
- If she drops by unannounced, politely decline: “I’m sorry, I’m just about to run errands.”
Remember, relationships take effort from both sides. While you’ve already apologized, consider finding common ground and focusing on positive interactions. It’s essential to maintain open communication and respect each other’s perspectives. 🌟¹²³
**Summary:** To mend things, continue being respectful, set boundaries, and seek opportunities for positive connections.
