Teen with H1N1 flu left to fend for herself

Parents move out and are so afraid they don't even bring her food. -TNPTue, Dec 08, 2009
The New Paper

By Crystal Chan

You're down with fever and need tender-loving care. Who do you turn to?

Family, of course.

Not so for Laura Lee.

The 15-year-old student has been left alone to battle the H1N1 virus at home for almost two weeks.

Her parents moved out of their three-room flat in Ang Mo Kio to stay with relatives, leaving her to fend for herself.

The reason: Fear.

So afraid are they of being infected that they won't even bring food to their only child. They stay in touch by calling her on the phone every day.

Reluctant to leave home because she doesn't want to risk infecting others, Laura has been surviving on only instant noodles and plain porridge.

Laura told the The New Paper on Sunday that she came down with a fever on 22 Nov.

She went to see a GP, who gave her normal flu medication.

Laura said: "I thought it was the common flu and I'd hoped to recover by last weekend as I was meeting a friend to celebrate her birthday."

But Laura's plans were dashed............

Dear Parents of the above girl,

She is your only child, you left her to fend for herself at a time when she is sick. You are teaching by example right?

Cause when one day both of you are ill and sick, she will leave you at the home to rot and die. She wont call to check if you are ok.. She will call to check if both of you are dead.

What happened to the gahment encouraging Pro Family. Leaving your daughter alone to fend for herself, while both of you are afraid to be by her side....both of you might as well not have a daughter.

How selfish can one parents get.....
