Hi All,

Your FTT baby case is a classic example of the DEADLY HARM these so-called
religious people are doing. This issue really gets to me.  It is not God's
way to starve His children by restricting nursing to a 3 hour schedule.
These babies are STARVING TO DEATH.  Yes, these cases need to reported.  How?

I have an idea.  Not only do we notify the GFI and Ezzo's of the harm but,
when it is obvious that this routine is starving the babies, and the parents
are allowing it to happen, why not reprot to CPS?  After all, is this not a
form of child abuse and neglect?  I think it is.  If these parents are told
that they could be reported for allowing their babies to starve simply
because of a faulty "feeding philosophy" then maybe they will pay more
attention to their babies needs and not what GFI is telling them to do.
Any comments?  I know that this sounds harsh, but we have to educate these
people some how and save theses babies.
