Subject: Formal Complaint Regarding Neglect of Calum Boone Prescott from January 3, 2025, to Present
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against Cook Children's Medical Center for the egregious neglect of my son, Calum Boone Prescott, during his ongoing treatment from January 3, 2025, to the present date, February 21, 2025. The care provided—or lack thereof—has endangered my son’s life, ignored my explicit requests as his father, and violated basic standards of medical practice and parental rights. I demand immediate action to address these failures.
Details of the Incident:
On January 3, 2025, my son Calum Boone Prescott was admitted to Cook Children's Medical Center for his lissencephaly caused by northwest texas hospital. From that date forward, the following acts of neglect and mismanagement occurred:
Calum was fed iron-enriched formula, which caused him to aspirate, exacerbating his condition. This inappropriate feeding choice was made despite his known medical fragility. he has a genetic mutation of the HFE1 gene which means his body can not process iron.
estimated January 8, 2025, I explicitly requested antibiotics to treat his worsening condition, likely pneumonia, but the staff refused to administer them, dismissing my concerns as his father and primary advocate.
Calum went four days without a bath, from [jan19 to jan23], neglecting basic hygiene and increasing his risk of infection.
For four weeks, from approximately January 3 to January 31, he was denied bottle feeding, further compromising his nutrition and recovery.
Calum suffered from pneumonia for 27 days—diagnosed or evident by [e.g., January 8]—yet the hospital failed to treat it effectively, allowing his condition to persist untreated until at least january 18th, 2025.
Between January 3 and January 25, he was subjected to six different seizure medications, none of which were the vigabatrin I instructed them to administer on January 5. Only on January 25, after exhausting their own options and with Calum’s condition presumably deteriorating, did they finally administer vigabatrin—20 days after my initial directive.
On january 27th, 2025, I was banned from the hospital premises for calling Texas Health and Human Services on speakerphone to report these issues, an action taken in desperation due to the staff’s refusal to listen or act.
These events demonstrate a pattern of negligence, arrogance, and disregard for both my son’s health and my rights as his parent. The hospital only acted on my medical advice when their own approaches failed, placing Calum in unnecessary peril.
Impact:
As a result of this neglect, Calum has endured prolonged suffering, including untreated pneumonia for 27 days, aspiration from improper feeding, and a trial-and-error approach to seizure management that delayed effective treatment. His condition has likely worsened due to these failures, causing him physical harm, pain, and potentially irreversible setbacks. I have been emotionally devastated, separated from my son by an unjust ban, and forced to watch helplessly as his care was mishandled.
Supporting Evidence:
https://t.co/MTNUSDNVyu
I am prepared to provide medical records from Cook Children's documenting Calum’s admission and treatment," "photographs of his condition during this period," "communication logs with staff," witness statements from family members. I also have documentation of my call to Texas Health and Human Services, which led to my ban.
I demand the following:
An immediate investigation into the neglect of Calum Boone Prescott from January 3, 2025, to the present, including a review of feeding protocols, medication decisions, and staff conduct.
A written explanation for the refusal to administer antibiotics and vigabatrin as requested, the use of iron-enriched formula, and the lack of basic care like bathing and feeding.
I am hiring an attorney, see you in court!

@AnnieJacobsen ya... you fix someone with a severe physical disability and now they can walk and feed themselves, uet their mental disabilities are still around... now they will live linger but just end up homeless screaming at street lights.
well... if i were to draw a john wayne inspired correlation; I'd say if you had the character of Lyndon B. Johnson, you would be pretty happy with the results of either. Cowboys in this world create a need for totalitarian control. A deep dive into medical services as well as the end to a hippy era.
@ashtonforbes so this was probably true, now the question is who initiated the attack... sure would be helpful if the presidential alert system was used to notify people our nation was under attack. I have been saying we are under attack since the first assassination attempt.
@BTCitadelXXl@Barchart not if trump has anything to say about it. he just crashed the cocaine market and put 200% tariffs on foreign booze..... i bet he is a lot of fun at parties....
