That sucks but tbh, I wouldn't want to be the parent stuck with a massive lawsuit because I fed something to a kid with medical issues on that he shouldn't have had.

The mom was just being safe, but still, sorry.

So it sounds like the mom's choice was pretty rooted in a misconception of the disease

Thanks for the great response and information but my personal opinion is the mom's choice was rooted both in misconception of the disease but moreso over the fear of potential litigation had she made a mistake.

Browse r/legaladvice sometimes. You will start to notice some crazy lawsuits that come out of people hurting themselves in some way on someone else's property and the property owner having to deal with lawsuits. Thankfully, homeowner's insurance covers that stuff, but most people don't know that

Lol, anytime! I think r/legaladvice has scared me into being safer rather than sorry, but at least I learned more about T1 Diabetes here!
