Some family who let their first kid die because of prayer therapy has apparently done it again.

Seriously? People probably shouldn't have the right to keep their children after their negligence has already killed one.

Wow, they must be beyond nutty to actually try prayer therapy again after already losing a child. It's not like they prayed before and faced minor consequences because of it. Their kid fucking died. They'd better get more than probation for this nonsense, because doing it twice is inexcusable. Doing it once is inexcusable, but this... I can't wrap my mind around how damn insane these people must be to let a second child die.
Guys, this is getting creepy. Can we talk about cannibalism instead?

Notice what they said they'd do as part of their probation.

At this point, this may be what kick starts it.

They should be in jail, I understand that prayer can give comfort to someone but they outright neglected their children and that is a form of abuse.

I doubt it: Lots of kids have died from these faith-healing practices. Society will roll its eyes at these backwards people, then go back to letting them influence our government.
