This is a case of Isabella Anne Constance Marie Wiens who was born on June 11, 2011. Isabella was taken from her mother, Sara Jane Wiens in August 2011 after she was deemed unfit to care for her (Kane, 2015). In March 2013, the 21-month-old toddler was found dead in the crib at her foster home (Kane, 2015); and the place of death was listed as Burnaby (Culbert & Shaw, 2015).

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), otherwise known as " Lou Gehrig's Disease ", is a devastating disease that effects the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. French neurologist, Jean-Martin Charcot, first discovered the disease in 1869. Attention was not brought to the disease until 1939, when New York Yankees first basemen Lou Gehrig retired because of his diagnosis (4). Specifically referred to as a "neurodegenerative disease", ALS is the lack of nourishment to muscles (5). If you break "Amyotrophic" down into its latin meanings "A" means no, "Myo" is muscle, and "Trophic" means nourishment (6). It slowly eats way at the ability to eat, speak, walk, and breath, and will eventually lead to the victims death. ALS is the most common of five motor neuron diseases: botulism, tetanus, poliomyelitis, and spinal muscular atrophy. Motor Neurons run from the brain to the brain stem, connect to the spinal cord, and from the spinal cord they reach out to the corresponding muscles (5).…
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome is one of the most difficult and mysterious diagnosis to face, for both parents and members of the healthcare team. It is the worst nightmare of all parents. SIDS is defined as "a sudden and unexpected death of an infant, or young child, in which a thorough postmortem examination, and examination of the death scene, fails to demonstrate an adequate cause for death (Caldwell, 1995). Though some are more prone to SIDS, it strikes families of all races, ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds without warning. Neither parents or physicians can predict that SIDS will strike (The SIDS Network, 1997). In fact, most victims of SIDS, seem healthy preceding death. This paper outlines the disorder of SIDS and provides some information, though not exhaustive, of the known risk factors.…
