A 9-year-old little boy, Jeremy Fraser, had autism and in 2006, was later diagnosed with leukemia. His mother, Kristen Anne LaBrie, is accused of not giving her son his cancer medication. Fraser passed away in the hospital on Monday. LaBrie cancelled many chemotherapy appointments for her son along with not filling her sons prescriptions. LaBrie has pleaded not guilty to reckless child endangerment. However, LaBrie did not show up to a previously scheduled pretrial hearing in the endangerment case Monday. LaBrie's attorney, Kevin James, said that LaBrie had taken her son to Massachusetts General Hospital more than 100 times and has been "extensively involved in this child's care".
I feel that this story is a little fishy. It doesn't make sense to me that Fraser's mother would take him countless times to the hospital, and then deny him of the treatment and medication that he needed. What was the point in taking him to the hospital in the first place if you weren't going to help your son out? The hospital may have told LaBrie what was necessary for her son's recovery, but she obviously did not take action. This really bothers me that a mother would do this to her helpless, suffering child. It just doesn't make any sense to me. I wonder what the court is going to decide. Do you think that LaBrie should be let off the hook? I certainly think she should pay for neglecting her son.
