Quote:I guess I am seeing this in a different way. I think ignoring proven vaccinations recommended by every doctor everywhere and therefore setting your child up for a potential deadly and preventable disease is akin to child abuse. You are required to feed your child and I see them as the same requirement for healthy life. Don't want to vaccinate your child? Fine but you should have to serve time for abuse. 

 

that might be extreme, I admit.

 

Not extreme, abuse a child go to jail I think everyone agrees with that. The question is in the details, which vaccines and who decides if it's optional or not? What about if the medical community isn't unanimous about it? Does it stop at vaccines, what about fat kids, isn't it child abuse when parents don't deal with fat kids and leads them to a life of diabetes and health issues? What about parents that smoke isn't that a health concern for the kids, that's child abuse right? You see the problem I have?
