We Need to Give Her Quite a Bit of Water
The Killpacks need to get the book thrown at them. This couple adopted an abused child and found they were incapable of providing discipline. Apparently, they maintain their therapist told them to "indulge Cassandra "to the point of excess" as punishment for wrongdoing". Which they did. And apparently were surprised when five-year-old Cassandra died after they forced her to drink 2 1/2 liters of water.
What kind of idiots are these people? How can they not see that someone drinking water to the point of vomiting is wrong? And what of the therapist? The Center he works for says that 'water therapy' is not a standard practice and none of their therapists would ever suggest such a thing. If that is true, why did the State of Oregon revoke their therapist's liscense after a lengthy review, stating that his “clinical beliefs are a danger to the public.”
And what was this punishment administered? Because Cassandra was drinking her sister's Kool-Aid.
