August 29th: Sheila O'Leary Sentenced (2022)

Choosing a certain diet or lifestyle for yourself, as an adult, is your prerogative. You have the autonomy to say what is and is not working and what makes you feel good. But, is it okay to make those choices for your child? One who can’t communicate how they feel? On August 29th 2022 a woman was sentenced for the crime that was the outcome of one of these choices.
