Very sad case out of Calgary. It's similar to other recent news of a Canadian couple failing to provide proper medical assistance to their child, but in this case the neglect and abuse went much, much further. Not only did the boy not received medical care, but he was forcibly confined to his bed, was severely underweight/starved, and was completely cut off from the outside world. He died in 2013, and the murder trial began today. I do hope they get the maximum sentence possible for this crime.
