    Canadian Mom Sentenced

    Canadian Mom found guilty of negligence in sons strep throat case.

    Conjecture, that the judgement of negligence is sound and true.

    What interest does the state have in the sentence handed down by the crown?
    What role does punishment play in a society?
    In a libertarian society, who would need to be made whole? If a person dies, who gains the ordered restitution?
    In a libertarian society, could punishment, i.e. non-monetary restitution, caning, jail, even slavery play a role?

    How are the rights of a child handled in a libertarian society when they denied by a parent or care-giver? Who is to be the child's advocate?

    Does the small percentage of parents who will severely abuse or neglect their children warrant a discussion? i.e. If 99.9999% of parents are in general, performing their duties to their offspring, does society need to accept the .0001% of children who will be severely abused and neglected in order to allow the majorities liberties to stay intact and unabridged by the state?

    The secret reason we treat strep throat

    "Each of us must choose which course of action we should take: education, conventional political action, or even peaceful civil disobedience to bring about necessary changes. But let it not be said that we did nothing." - Ron Paul

    "Paul said "the wave of the future" is a coalition of anti-authoritarian progressive Democrats and libertarian Republicans in Congress opposed to domestic surveillance, opposed to starting new wars and in favor of ending the so-called War on Drugs."

    There is more to this story they are not telling. This child could have had a compromised immune system prior to the strep infection.
    “The spirits of darkness are now among us. We have to be on guard so that we may realize what is happening when we encounter them and gain a real idea of where they are to be found. The most dangerous thing you can do in the immediate future will be to give yourself up unconsciously to the influences which are definitely present.” ~ Rudolf Steiner

    There's enough data to make a case - why is it even necessary for government to be involved? To the OP's point, how much more will this mother learn, and what does society gain, by the mother's punishment? Kids are sick all the fking time - especially in the US where most people have poor hygiene. Why is there always a government answer to every fking tragedy? Fk you, Kristine Eidsvik... You're not fit for the bench.

    My takeaway from this tragedy is to always weigh risks/rewards. I actually adopted this philosophy from Ben Franklin's biography - well before this poor woman lost her child. Still, those who have not read Franklin's bio might be affected the same way I had been - using this tragedy to help individuals make better decisions for their families. As if going to jail or paying a fine is a greater punishment than losing one's child... Useless idiot.

    The Franklin reference:

This I mention for the stake of parents who omit that operation, on the supposition that they should never forgive themselves if a child died under it ; my example showing that the regret may be the same either way, and that, therefore, the safer should be chosen.
