Parents are making their children drink bleach to "cure" them of autism
http://www.newsweek.com/parents-are-making-their-children-drink-bleach-cure-them-autism-793197Parents are making their children drink industrial bleach to "cure" them of autism, with the potentially deadly practice traced back to a cult in the United States.
According to the British tabloid Sunday People, six British police forces probed cases in which children as young as 2 were forced to undergo the potentially lethal treatment.
The treatment being administered is CD (chloride dioxide) or MMS ("miracle mineral solution"
, with a secret Facebook group touting its use to desperate parents in the United Kingdom.
The method was promoted by a controversial U.S. church with a branch in Los Angeles: the secretive Genesis II Church, founded by Jim Humble, a former scientologist.
A 2016 investigation by Eyewitness News and ABC News found an underground network clustered in Southern California, promoting MMS on Facebook as a cure for ailments including cancer, Parkinson's and autism in children.

I posted about Jim Humble in 2013. I can't believe he's still running this dangerous scam.

Add in quack "medicine" and you have a lethal situation.
That's bordering on abuse and child cruelty... what is wrong with this country?
