There's a whole bunch of stories about some parents who let their daughter die of diabetes because they believed that God is the one that heals, not doctors. The question that goes through my head is, should these parents be charged?

I think they should be charged the same way anyone else who simply refused to help their kids would be charged. I don't think they should be able to use a religious clause to get them out of it.

That's idiotic.

And reading further into this--it ends up that the parents had given their children vaccinations 8 years prior, so either they're hypocrites or they got these new anti-science beliefs in just the past 8 years.
