text: Laughable definition.  Where was the discussion of "real science" or "non-real science"?  The ruling was pretty clear, she took it on herself to diagnose her son.  She did not provide a healthy environment to live in.  She did not take any action to address his illness even as it grew more and more serious over a prolonged period of time (2 weeks).  That is plain and simple negligence.  There was no science involved at all.  There weren't any practitioners of any sort involved.  If there was a science of basic parenting (like not letting your kids stay up to the wee hours of the night) then maybe there was fake science, but there is no science in parenting.  I know many parents that bring their kids to the doctor that would fail that parenting science test.
