This poor baby died in such a horrible way. I have had asthma attacks and it is terrifying when you can't breathe while standing in air. It is terrifying for me, and so much worse for a poor young child.

[@wendyfoster5579]

Just imagine you are the 9 year old girl needing help so badly that she could hardly walk and died? Sooo tragic and unnecessary.

[@AnimeShinigami13]

I once had asthma so badly that just breathing hurt. My throat was raw my voice had gone down a couple octaves. I got maybe an hour or two of relief from spicy ginger beer or fisherman's friend lozenges. And hot steamy baths and showers helped to ease the pain. But that's it. It's pain relief. You need medicine to really stop the symptoms. I would sit outside the back door to my apartment with a blanket wrapped around me and my knees drawn up. It was something in the apartment I'd just moved into. I coughed so hard my whole upper body hurt!

In some situations yeah this would be one of those situations and they should have called CPS because it's clear that these parents are negligent and has nothing to do with religion so I think the hospital should be charged or fined or sued for their part in this

She was in a vegetative state and had a tracheostomy in her neck and was oxygen dependent... and also suffered from seizures. Come to find out in her history she was born a normal little girl who happened to suffer from Asthma. One day when she was 3 years old she was having asthma symptoms through the day. Her mom had her use her pump and gave her multiple nebulizer treatments. Her symptoms continued and finally her mom told her they were gonna have to go to the emergency room. The child was crying she did not want to go and ran upstairs away from her mom. Her mom went up to get her and the little girl peed on herself thinking that would make her not able to go to the hospital. Instead of the mother just changing her pants and getting her going..she put her in the tub to bathe her. The little girl had such a horrific asthma attack that it killed part of her brain due to the lack of oxygen which is why she needed up the way she did. And the seizures were from the brain injury due to the lack of oxygen. Smh. Just take your kids to the doctor when they have an attack. Better safe then sorry.

As someone who is asthmatic…. Having a steam shower can help with opening the airway But the fact this lil girl was to the stage she was in … nothing other them medical intervention would help I know a mother who did pretty much a similar thing Her daughter was at a sleep over with my friends daughter & she started to have an asthma attack She called her mother & her month ears response was “oh she’ll be fine just tell her to not muck around” My friend ended up calling me asking me what to do & i said come get one of my ventolins I was angry bc it doesnt take much to prevent attacks or minimise one if you start to have one (obviously depending on the severity) If i had been the friend who was told to bring the girl home & it was to the point she couldnt even walk … I would have just put her in the car & taken her to the hospital & deal with the other issues later This is so preventable its not funny She should have got more then 4yrs & he’ll be in for a rude awakening if he takes it to trial
