[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm assuming she is not reasonable when you talk to her about these things, so I would absolutely call CPS and protect her innocent child from her abuse. This is 100% abuse.[/quote]

It would be neglect but foster care would be far worse for this child.  No vaccines is ok.  [/quote]

No and no. [/quote]

Yes, and Yes, former foster care worker of 10 years.  How much interaction have you had in the system?  Legally you can exempt your child from vaccines and most foster care is horrible at best.[/quote]

No, it's NOT OK to not vaccinate a child. Eff off.

No, it's not always worse in foster care. My MIL was a social worker for 40 years. Tell the kids who have been burned by cigarettes and had their genitals mutilated by their "loving parents." Starving a child and not providing care is most certainly not better than removing a child and placing him in a home with food and medical care. [/quote]

She didn't say it's OK to not vaccinate a child.  She said it's legal.  That's a fact.  It is currently legal to not vaccinate your child.

However, it's not legal to refuse to offer your two year old enough calories to maintain their weight.  That is neglect.

I would be very surprised if a child was removed by this.  In an ideal world, CPS would intervene and require a medical evaluation to find out what's going on.  If the PP above is right that it's something like CF, this could lead to medical treatment.  If the OP is right and this is because the kid isn't being fed appropriately, this would lead to nutritional counseling, and more medical appointments to monitor weight.  Only if it turned out that the parent was intentionally harming the child (e.g. withholding food as a punishment, or something ike Munshausen) or they refused to work with medical providers to make a plan, would it lead to removal.
