"It is not a mild infection, it is not a mild virus; it is a severe illness. And they kept on telling me they wish they'd known beforehand how bad measles was, so that they could have protected their family," she said.

For the parents. I feel bad for the kids.

    Mormons believe that their children are pre-selected in the pre-earth life, so the children chose to come to that family in their theology.

    I have to agree here. Those bairns didn't ask to run the risk of lifelong complications like blindness, deafness, brain damage, loss of motor control of a body part, lung damage, immune system damage and a whole slew of others I needn't list to labour a point.

    The parents should be no longer so, but condemning those kids to yet more abuse at the hands of the system strikes me as nothing short of sadistic.
