Gloria Huang parents sentenced to 3 years

 Gloria Huang parents sentenced to 3 years . It is trendy now to scream " Oh nooo  , Qatar  is unfair and stupid - let those innocent parents free " " it can happen to anyone of us "
 Certainly if you let your sick child without medical care  for four days - it may happen .

 I do not know if those who are in favor of the " innocent parents" why  not ask themselves ."After all how this child, this five year old African girl died  in the care of their American parents ."

  The facts are simple and sad . Gloria suffered from protozoa and eating disorder  and her parents did not seek medical help for her when she refused to eat  during four days . Though it is free in Qatar . Anyone can take at any time  -any child to the child emergency and  specialists can  help those who are in need .
Anyway  the Huangs were not poor . But they were a kind of snobs . As they did not trust the health care of this country they refused to take their child to doctor . How smart !

Only when the child was in critical condition  they were scared and ran to the emergency .But then it was too late .
My personal view on this case is that they were overconfident snobs who thought they knew better since they were American . Their attitude led to the death of this  child .And three years is  the sentence that they deserve .

 Many people believe  that this is their race , nationality and the religion that led to their sentence .  I think just the opposite is true . They got very little  for their heartless neglect  which led to a  child death that could have been avoided .

My advice to expat parents in Qatar: -Take your child to the doctor even if you do not trust them .You can go to see another specialist, a second one , a third one then you can compare their diagnosis .

 I wish very much Qatar would do more keeping the  good specialists in the country ...Personally  I trust much more the free government  clinics as the doctors there see a  very big number of sick children and they have more experience than those doctors who sit at a posh hospital and see only kids of the upper ten .
