Re: Circumcision of boys is a crime
And false foreskin....? Ew...

Pretty much the same here, except the parents must also deal with a CPS investigation, which may result in the loss of custody depending on what else was going on in the home. But overall, the same effect as in The States....I'm not sure I've explained the Canadian solution clearly: we end the legal custody of the crazy parents, put the child in the care of provincial child protection authorities, and ensure the child receives a blood transfusion whilst ignoring the religious nonsense spewed by the parents. Custody then reverts to the parents in most cases.
Slammed=having to deal with potential prosecution. Here in The States, it's a felony in most jurisdictions to endanger the life of a child. However, it can be bargained down to a misdemeanor. If the kid actually dies, and the parents' actions are determined to have caused the death, then manslaughter charges would be leveled. Just because they aren't in the picture doesn't mean they didn't help draw it...That is itself a nice advance, period. Not sure what you mean by "parents getting slammed;" they aren't part of the picture at that point.
