Last Friday, Sante Fe, New Mexico police charged Ramiro Miranda-Quinonez and Maria Urias-Astorga with child abuse following their 14-year-old son’s death from untreated cancer. In an interview with detectives, Urias-Astorga said she had treated her son’s worsening health with herbs and other home remedies because the family didn’t have access to insurance and couldn’t afford to see a doctor.\n
Sorry but no. This is neglect. This is not okay. Is it awful that healthcare is so expensive & difficult to access in our country? Yes, of course! But you don’t LET YOUR CHILD DIE because you’re scared of debt. You take on the debt. You ask the hospital if they can write off your medical bills as charity for low-income people.
He didn’t die because he was poor, he died because his parents didn’t take him to a doctor for TWO YEARS. You’re also leaving out the LIGATURE MARKS on his wrists, which is mentioned in the ABQ Journal piece you linked. You also left out that his sister said her family “ trusts nature, home remedies, herbs and vegetables.” And the fact that dad is a COVID denier and mask-hater spreading misinformation online. And also this:
R.M.’s tumor was so large that doctors couldn’t do chest compressions on him because the tumor would crush his heart. The tumor also prevented breathing tubes from being inserted into R.M.’s lungs. Medical staff said they were told that R.M. hadn’t been able to walk for several weeks, had been increasingly lethargic, was vomiting several times a day, losing weight and in respiratory distress.“R.M. appeared to be in similar disposition to photographs of Nazi concentration camp survivors from World War II,” court documents said.
