Kate Tieje is a blogger who writes under the monikerModern Alternative Mama. The irony of hernom de plume is that she seems to eschew nearly everything modern. If it weren't for the fact that she owns a computer, she would be nearly indistinguishable from an early 19th century American pioneer. She has a seemingly endless supply offolk remedies, about as modern as a tribal witch doctor. In addition toalternative medicine, she also promotesvaccine hysteria,[1]homeschooling,[2]Christian fundamentalism, andcreationism.[3]
Of particular note is her record of child abuse and neglect, such as leaving her infant's broken arm untreated for a week and taking him to a chiropractor instead of a real doctor.[4]
