Is it negligence if one doesn't take a child to a specialist for a known health care concern? ie asthma?

my daughter has been living with her "father" since April. He has not taken her to see the pulmonologist. She had an asthma attack last weekend, it is NOT under control. is this negligence?Is it negligence if one doesn't take a child to a specialist for a known health care concern? ie asthma?I wouldnt call it neglegence, rather idiosity !!! children depend on us adults to guide them thru life safely and if thats hindered than we set them up for failure when it comes time for them to make right decisions for thier children. There was a recent case of the same sort here in wausau wisconsin last year about a family that was praying over their child to have god do the healing who had a similar problem and refused to go to a doctor. as a result of their ignorance or religious belief the child died. they wound up in the court system and only got slaps on the wrists. Go figure. I would go the whole nine yards to see that the well being of my offspring was safe no limits on that one...!!!!!!Is it negligence if one doesn't take a child to a specialist for a known health care concern? ie asthma?
Hi....Well is her father taking her to ANY other kind of doctor for this medical condition? If her father is TOTALLY ignoring her medical condition,then YEEEESSSSS it is negligence!!!! IF this IS the case, you MUST contact child protective services as soon as possible.But IF her father IS getting his child medical care for this medical condition? And he is just taking his daughter to a different pulmonologist(that you aren't aware of) then you don't have much to stand on.Just make sure that you have ALL of the facts first!!!! Good luck and I hope this child IS well taken care of!!!!!!Is it negligence if one doesn't take a child to a specialist for a known health care concern? ie asthma?I think this would be a question better for the police station...but personally I would feel negligent if i didn't take my child to a professional...but there are many people who wouldnt...and alot of the times i cant blame them.



*edit*

VVVV I would disagree with cps as a first option..I would call the police and have them make the father hand the child over....most people who say call cps have never delt with cps..I have..when I was a child and it was more of a nightmare for me than it was for my parents.



*reedit* lol thx whoever for the thumbs down..sheesh..and whatever...all i know is dealing with cps was hell...try it sometime..have a great day lol.Is it negligence if one doesn't take a child to a specialist for a known health care concern? ie asthma?
I have asthma and have NEVER seen a specialist for it - one attack in a week in the weather we have been having at least where I live is not grounds to make the assumption that the condition is not being treated and that it is not controlled. Sometimes too much treatment can be a bad as too little.Is it negligence if one doesn't take a child to a specialist for a known health care concern? ie asthma?I would say yes. Asthma can be deadly. I would call CPS.

EDIT: The cops can not take custody of the child from the father if they show up and the child is fine! It is not like he locked her in a hot car!Is it negligence if one doesn't take a child to a specialist for a known health care concern? ie asthma?
Mom, I am not a child, and I am fine!!!!!! He is looking through lists doctors now. I am perfectly fine! It was the first attack in over a year! I still have my rescue inhaler, and am not in immediate danger
YES CONTACT THE FATHER IMMEDIATELY IF HE REFUSES PHONE THE POLICE I WOULD GET HER TO A DOCTOR SHE COULD HAVE ANOTHER I URGE YOU TO HURRY
