A judge’s highly unusual order enforcing a grieving mother to post about her son\u2019s death on Facebook has added an extra layer of controversy to a contentious child death case in Canada, reports news.com.au.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Collet Stephan and her husband David were sentenced to 3 months of house arrest after failing to provide the necessaries of life for their 19-month old son who died from bacterial meningitis.<\/p>\n

As part of the somewhat lenient sentence, Justice Rodney Jerke also ordered Collet Stephan to post unedited copies of the decision to social media accounts.<\/p>\n

While the order may appear unusual to outsiders, it follows massive controversy surrounding Stephan’s Prayers for Ezekiel Facebook <\/a><\/strong>page.<\/p>\n

Stephan has since failed to post the judgement since its handing down on 24 June.<\/p>\n

The judge\u2019s sentencing decision includes a timeline of events that describes how the Stephans continued to treat Ezekiel with remedies like garlic and horseradish after a nurse \u2014 and even a receptionist at a naturopathic clinic \u2014 urged them to take the ailing boy to a doctor.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
