This is from Raw Story, linking to two sources for the info:

Carsyn Davis died June 23, two days after her 17th birthday, after she contracted the coronavirus, reported the News-Press, but former Florida data scientist Rebekah Jones detailed shocking claims in a medical examiners report about her illness.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigated the teens last two week in the medical examiners report, which Jones said shows her mother, Carole Brunton Davis, had taken her June 10 to a church-sponsored event to intentionally expose her immunocompromised daughter, who had survived cancer at 2, to the potentially deadly coronavirus.
More than 100 mask-free children attended the event, and Davis gave her daughter azithromycin, an anti-bacterial drug with no known benefits for fighting COVID-19, after she developed headaches, sinus pressure and a cough, Jones reported.
Davis whose Facebook page is awash in QAnon conspiracy theories, anti-vaccine and coronavirus misinformation and dubious legal theories next put the girl on her grandfathers oxygen machine after she looked gray on June 19.

This nut job experimented on using hydroxychloriquine for her daughter next.
From Florida data scientist Rebekah Jones:
https://floridacovidvictims.com/2020/07/05/carsyn-leigh-davis/
Her mom, who is not a doctor, then prescribed her daughter azithromycin, an anti-bacterial drug with no known benefits for fighting COVID-19, for several days. During that treatment period, Carsyn developed headaches, sinus pressure and a cough.
A few days later, without taking her to a doctor, her mother would later report that her daughter looked gray on June 19, so she put Carsyn on her grandfathers oxygen machine.
When that still did nothing to combat the cough, the headaches, the sinus infection, the fever, her mother started giving her hydroxychloroquine a dangerous drug that clinical studies have shown makes a person MORE likely to die of COVID, but was recklessly touted by President Trump for months as a supposed cure.
From the Fort Myers News-Press, a sanitized version of what happened from the guilty mother:
https://www.news-press.com/story/news/local/2020/06/26/fort-myers-carsyn-leigh-davis-dies-covid-19-family-is-comforted-that-she-is-pain-free/3265583001/
Davis, of Fort Myers, fought health issues since the age of 2, including cancer and an autoimmune disorder. She went through years of treatment, and years of seeing doctors and specialists, her mother, Carole Brunton Davis, stated in a Facebook post.
Through all of that she also survived the death of her father when she was 10.
On Tuesday, Davis lost her final battle. She died at 1:06 p.m. from complications of COVID-19, two days after her 17th birthday.
"We are incredibly saddened by her passing at this young age, but are comforted that she is pain free," Brunton Davis said.

The article goes on to detail what the mother said about her selfless daughter, described as a devout Christian and a patriot.
I can think of a lot of very different words that fit Carole Brunton Davis.

Make no mistake, it's murder. The woman lost her husband and now her daughter, karma is a bitch if you are... maybe she might catch something.

(1,979 posts)She essentially killed her daughter - knowingly exposing her to a killer virus when she knew that the young lady had major health complications. Someone else (45) should also be named for hawking a drug that does nothing to help this virus.
This is so sad and it really enrages me that the mother is not sitting her ass in a jail cell right now.

(5,969 posts)I can only second the first post. I only read the excerpts so far but surely there have to be legal consequences? This is pretty close to murder and I know it's not the correct legal charge for this case but it just feels like murder.
A child with a compromised immune system that also went through cancer is deliberately sent to a party with the only aim to contract a potentially lethal disease? Why put your kid through this after all it endured already?
How can someone be so misguided that they'd sacrifice their child just for the sake of it? And damn the Republicans for politicizing sane measures during a pandemic and their war against science.

But if that's for real, shouldn't something be done about that church?

(5,801 posts)She spent her 17th birthday doing plasma therapy in the pediatric ICU, unable to breathe without coughing, in constant pain from the damage COVID-19 was doing her body.
And none of this had to happen.
The mother should rot in a jail cell.

jmowreader
(50,557 posts)When they write death certificates, they put down a primary cause of death (COVID-19 in this case), then two due to, or as a consequence of causes.
In this case, COVID-19 would be the primary, then her Trumpite mother and her Trumpite church would be the due to causes.
I would have loved to be at the funeral. No, she is not at peace or with Jesus. She is fucking dead. Her mother and this church killed her.

(1,697 posts)She was presented as the poster child of COVID killing even the young.
They need to revisit their report to make her the poster child of a bat shit crazy, Christian, QAnon-following mother who purposefully exposed her to the virus.
Sensible people already know Covid kills young people. Maybe if a Covidiot hears the full story, s/he may rethink attending the church's COVID party.

Just GONE.
That said, maybe they won't matter this time. Maybe we'll have peeled enough former trump voters away in November, or maybe trump himself will have done the heavy peeling for us by then. There actually are cracks in the proverbial wall now.

A simple refusal to believe in science is what is causing the problem with all these people. They have turned away from science and deserve all the fallout they get.
The religious people spouting this crap need to be held accountable when shit like this happens. Religion should no longer be a shield for stupidity and crimes against humanity.
So sad and maddening.
