If any subsequent children die due to this outbreak, charge the parents that sent the sick child to daycare with murder.
...and apparently did not get the kid vaccinated and refused medication.
I don't excuse the parent for refusing the medication for themselves, however since the kid was a patient at CHoP, it's possible they have an illness that prevents them from getting the vaccine. I'm not excusing the parent, but there's a case to be made for the kid.
If the parent refused medication for a disease that they were willing but unable to vaccinate the child against, that would be baffling. I can't feasibly believe that this isn't a belligerent, poorly informed parent being a reckless arsehole.
Fuck. If they were immunocompromised to begin with, the parents should also be arrested for endangering their child, after they’re charged with murder for any kids that died via their reckless actions.
Or charge them with reckless endangerment now and tack on manslaughter charges later.
This should just generally be the case with vaccine refusal. If you refuse a vaccine and kill someone, that should be manslaughter
Unfortunately, it's difficult to prove, but I generally agree. I'd love mandatory vaccinations, particularly at school, so idiot parents didn't spread communicable diseases through their defenseless children. Especially since those parents got all theirs, so they are basically just endangering the lives of their kids and their immunocompomised neighbors.
Regardless of if anyone dies, they put others at risk by not quarantining. I don't view this as any different than waving a gun around in public. They should be prosecuted for endangering others.
