No charges against the doctor yet, as far as I know. The doctor has taken a voluntary paid leave, pending results of the investigation. The facility she works for issued a statement backing her up, and claiming there was nothing wrong with her diagnoses and prescriptions. The parents have been brought up on charges though. Documents released to the court show they gave Rebecca the prescribed amount of drugs.

It's too late for Rebecca, but maybe this will serve as a lesson to other parents. They should know that when they subject their children to whatever quackery is the latest fad, their children aren't going to pick up the whole tab for them. Even though Rebecca's parents were victimized by the doctor, and made incapable of excercising good judgement, they will be punished for allowing this doctor to kill their daughter. What excuse does that leave for so-called competent parents? They may not care what price their children have to pay, but they'll care what price they have to pay, and maybe that will make them think twice before subjecting their children to such abuse. Or, maybe the fad will continue, with the excuse that this is an extraordinary case. The same way street drug abusers excuse away the accidental overdoses of their buddies. "Oh, he just didn't do it right. That can't happen to me. I'm better at doing drugs than he was."
