The arrangement left the Grade 6 student feeling "upset, frustrated and angry," his grandmother told the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal. But the reason the boy was isolated was that his mother and grandmother insisted he needed to be kept away from the electromagnetic fields (EMFs) generated by Wi-Fi, cellphones and other electronics. Last week, the tribunal dismissed the family's complaint against the Saanich School District, saying there was no proof that EMFs caused the boy's migraines, nausea, insomnia and night terrors. The family had called for 25 per cent of the boy's middle school to be designated as Wi-Fi free.

After a spate of bad news out of Canada (a boy who died from meningitis after receiving care from a naturopathic doctor, and a teenager who died of complications from Type I diabetes because his parents didn't believe he had the disease), it's nice to see some people in authority still believe in science.

I certainly hope this boy, now a teenager, receives medical assessments and treatment for whatever it is that's causing his symptoms. Right now, though, it's not looking good, because his mother is gone down the woo-woo rabbit hole. She'll be interfering with his medical treatment for the next few years until the child gets old enough to seek assistance on his own. Provided whatever's ailing him now doesn't kill him first.
