British girl starves to death after dentists pull all her teeth

An eight year old British girl died from starvation after she cracked a baby tooth eating candy, well this at least led to what caused her untimely demise.

Sophie Walkerrefused to open her mouth for he dentist so he could take out the tooth. They, the doctor involved removed all of her baby teeth, to avoid future operations. Yes you read that right.

Once the operation was complete she even refused to open her mouth for her parent's. They sent her home anyway, which I can almost understand, at tis point it would seem to just be a defiant child. It get's worse, keep reading.

To continue, the parent's (here's where it get's really foolish) claimed the hospitalmishandled her follow up care and referred them to a child psychologist wh told the parent's not to worry about her ever weight loss!! WHAT!!!

This an eight year old child for Christ sake.

Side note: if my child refused to eat I would plug their nose, open their mouth and give them somefood. Not very polite I know, but thisis my child. Failing that I would bring her to a doctor's office, explain the situation and have her put on an iv at the very least. But hey, a psychologist said "don't worry about it"

Give me break.

She died from kidney failure. Brought on by starvation ad dehydration....remember however ... don't worry about her weight loss. The inquest was told she weighed 72 pounds before the op and lost one third of her body weight.

The psychiatrist was told she was sucking on a watermelon and the psychiatrist said that hat was enough! Unbelievable.

Sohie's father called the psychiatrist every day, apparently sometimes twice about how bad she lookedand the response, the professional response was she'll eat next week and there was nothing to worry about. Great diagnosis, where'd she get her degree?

Psychiatry for dummies!

The parent's are n beter in my opinion, nor the doctor's. This is a child. Yes, sometime's kids are defiant, t's what makes them kids, but to watch them starve because you don't know what to do?

I hope the psychiatrist loses her licence and as for the parent's, they have suffered enough through the loss of a child.....God will judge them all.
