She had bought raw goat milk from a farm recommended to her in a Facebook group run by her chiropractor. Marris had hoped the milk, unprocessed and natural, would help with her daughter Brooklyn’s constipation. But doctors now suspected the unpasteurized milk, which hadn’t been heated to kill off pathogens, was the source of the toddler’s severe E. coli infection.

The PROBLEM is the PARENT

Well, it was recommended by a quack (chiropractor). The fact that chiropractors are allowed to practice their voodoo pseudomedicine, is baffling to me.

I agree this should be treated as child abuse
