  • The information conflicts (0 / 0)

    I can't help but think there is a big piece missing, which will be revealed in the days and weeks to come.

    The parents say they did not realize how sick she was.  I can totally see that, as I have made the same mistake with my own health.  Community members note that the girl was seen around town and at various events over the summer and seemed ok.  However, the medical examiner's report indicated that she was severely ill and would have been for the past 6 months.   That information just does not add up to me - hence my belief that something is missing.

    • I did go back and read the articles... (0 / 0)

      and I agree, it's pretty weird.  But then again, the symptoms they listed were being very thirsty, using the bathroom frequently, and dry skin.  Depending on how severe all of those were, for what length of time she was symptomatic, and how observant the parents are...  I'm not really defending them exactly, just saying that my five year old gets himself water when he's thirsty, uses the bathroom without my noticing most of the time, and has very dry skin all winter just because he has dry skin all winter... all of those would have to be VERY extreme for it to really stand out to me.

    • I'm with you - full story not out (0 / 0)

      the parents must have known something was wrong if they were praying for healing, but what did they know, did they see a doctor about this and what was the doctor doing about this?

      So sad and yeah, it raises so many uncomfortable questions.
