If I injected my son with mercury, monkey parts, antifreeze, and (insert ingredient here), I'd go to jail for endangering the welfare of a child or attempted murder.

If I sat in court and swore to everyone that the injections were safe, that there is no research proving that these substances are in any way harmful to my son, I'd be charged with perjury on top of everything else.

If I said those things in court, scientists, researchers, doctors, pharmaceutical experts, and toxicity experts would crawl out of the woodwork to get their time on the stand to prove me wrong. And I would be proven wrong. They might even prove I was responsible for giving my child autism.

If I did all of this, the media - all media - would be in a frenzy to report on the crazy mom who injected her child with poisons.
After all, America is obsessed with the horrific crimes against children... by their parents. Apparently the majority of the population (and the media) do not much care when anyone other than mommy and daddy perpetrates a crime against our children.

Sometimes I feel like I've fallen down the rabbit hole.
