[bpsdb] Can the use of homeopathy in place of conventional method to treat your kid be a form of child abuse? Yes, as the tragic case of baby Gloria Thomas, another victim of of the delusions of homeopathists will hopefully show.

In the last months of her life, baby Gloria Thomas suffered such terrible eczema her skin would weep and peel, sticking to her clothing when she was changed.

Despite her bleeding, crying and malnutrition, her mother and homeopath father failed to get conventional medical help before she died a painful death, a Sydney jury has been told.

The parents, Thomas Sam and Manju Sam, have pleaded not guilty to manslaughter by gross criminal negligence at a court in Sydney.
