An herbalist told a boy’s parents to give him herbal oils instead of the usual insulin dosage. He died the next day.

In addition to the jail sentence and fine, Morrow was ordered to pay funeral expenses for the boy’s family.

Morrow began treating the 13-year-old in August 2014, when the boy became sick with complications from Type 1 diabetes. The boy’s mother met Morrow at one of his herbal seminars, according to the news release. Morrow told the boy’s parents to give him herbal oils instead of the usual insulin dosage. The boy, identified in court papers as Edgar L., died the next day. The medical examiner determined he would have survived had he received proper medical care.

As part of his sentencing, Morrow was warned that if he continued his practice and it led to someone else’s death, he could be charged with murder.

Should be charged with this childs death!

The boy died. Needlessly. They should all go to jail.

“Parents” should have been sentenced as well.

Wtf ?!?!

Homeopathy is bollocks!

Replace “herbalist” with “idiot” and the headline will be accurate.

And the parents got what?

Why listen to anything an herbalist has to say?

Only 4 months?
