Mother Withheld Cancer Medicine ?!?

A mother was sentenced to up to 10 years in state prison on Friday for withholding chemotherapy drugs that potentially could have saved her autistic son's life.
Kristen LaBrie, expressed remorse for her actions.
"I wish I could have done things differently," she said.

As a healthcare worker, and a pediatric oncology (children's cancer) aspiring nurse, I can not understand how somebody can hold a child's medicine, as it could have saved his yound life. Especially a  M O T H E R.

It especially discusts me because this is the kind of thing that makes you wonder to what extent should a child of "abuse" be allowed to stay in the lives of a child in danger.
