You have a point with medicine not being an exact science. For that reason people should be allowed to have an opinion, don't you think? To me your key words here are "I would rather ", indication that you do have a choice.

And in most States, the State will always do what it feels is in the best interest of the Mnior Child not necessarily what the Mother or Parent want, a childs welfare MUST ALWAYS COME FIRST
The problem here is that everybody agrees that it was not a good idea, and also not a good idea that the child should be taken away from her home. In other words, what happened was not in the childs interest or to her welfare. But these things take on a life on their own!

Why should the state decide these things? The mother is the one who is home with the child and knows what the reactions of the meds are. Same problem with old parents or sick relatives - their reports of bad reactions to medicine counts for nothing. Why? What right has the state to take over control here? And, perhaps more importantly, who says they are always right??
