As they say, poison is in the dose. Try pouring all that corn syrup and artificial flavor down your kid's throat.

It can happen. Any system can be overwhelmed. Poor kid. This really was torture, pure and simple.

there is a special section in our state mental hospital for that particular problem...the patients are kept from water as much as possible, they will drink enough of it to kill themselves...very sad.
