Which you should be grateful forThe mother should have been indicted for child abuse since stupidity isn't a crime.
I guess you missed the part where she was calling human services several times a week. What was she supposed to do, hold them at gun point? Yes I would have gotten much more in people's face about this too, but hindsight is 20/20 and many people are very intimidated by authority/authority figures and feel powerless. She also may not have realized that his life was in danger. Again I agree she should have known, and could have done more, but it's easy to get self-righteous about this and rubbing salt in her wound is asinine in a wide variety of ways.
That aside, I hope with great passion that the SPECIFIC PEOPLE who blew her off end up in jail, and that point should be emphasized. But it won't. Incompetent employees hide behind their company and get off scott free while the best one can usually hope for is the company or state or whatever just throws some money at this and goes "oops our bad." That itself should be a crime. PEOPLE should be held accountable for shit like this.
She could have called her Dr.'s office and said " Hey, my stuff is all messed up.I cant get my kids meds". The receptionist would have passed the message on to the Dr. and the Dr. would have given the woman samples to hold the kid over until the issue was settled.
