(450 posts)it would be easily confirmed by looking at her cells in a microscope. Also the fact that she can not supposedly move would mean that she was suffering from spinal cord damage or MS not the disease stated by her parents. Her parents refuse to accept the possibility that their child is mentally ill. From the interview I saw of the child's Dad on Megyn Kelley's Fox Talk Show the father absolutely rejects the idea that his daughter could be mentally ill and acted ashamed that it could even be possible.
The parents look at their daughter as being "their" child and should be allow to do anything they want because they are the parents. They reject every other doctors attempt to assist them except the doctors that initially made the diagnosis based largely on the fact the child has an older sister that does have the disease that has been confirmed through medical biology.
Gag orders in cases involving children in state child welfare custody are routine and the parents broke it to attempt to force the CPS workers and her new doctors to accept "their" diagnoses of their daughter.
Most likely this child has been subject to abuse by these parents.
If these parents had taken this child to a doctor and the doctor said she did not have diabetes, but because of a misdiagnoses by another doctor they refused the new doctor's diagnoses and medical biology proved the child did not have diabetes. Then the parents kept insisting that the child did have diabetes would you accept such claims by them? This is the exact same situation. Medical biology proves that this girl does not have any disease.
