Hi, I have a friend who suffers from type one diabetes. She needed her insulin dose, but her mother purposefully hid it from her until she entered ketoacidosis (life threatening), repeatedly vomited and blacked out. The entire time my friend was under the impression she had just lost it, and her father, who also had no idea where the insulin was, was just about to take her to hospital because she was at risk of organ failure. Just before they set off, her mother revealed she had it all along.
I'm positive this is a form of abuse, but could this also be assault too, or something else? What could the mother be charged with in this situation? Or what would be the criteria she'd need to meet if what happened today didn't quite quantify as a crime? Thanks...
EDIT: This happened today (31/03/2019) in Wisconsin
EDIT 2: The girl in question is 15.
