"They are still in the home," he said. "There is no reason to remove them. There is no abuse or signs of abuse that we can see."
Isn't letting a child die of an easily treatable illness abuse in itself?

fucking ridiculous.
They're probably all like, "Well... it was just 'her time' and it was all in God's hands...."
I'm sure they wouldn't wonder why she still died after they 'prayed to God'....

but I am just as disgusted. Honestly... for a family to completely neglect the needs of their child--who, by the way, had an illness that WAS treatable and most of the time is survivable for the victim's lifetime.
Part of me wants to believe that the parents did not want to pay the cost for medical supplies, appointments, etc.... so they just left her to die. It's a shame that I have to think that, but honestly... no parent would see their child suffer through a sickness without even wanting to help her.

And yeah, it is criminal negligence. The other two children should be removed from the home because their parents are off their fucking rockers.

The girl's parents, Dale and Leilani Neumann, attributed the death to "apparently they didn't have enough faith," the police chief said.
No, apparently they didn't have enough sense.

Prayer + Medicine = Good combination.
Medicine = Good most of the time.
Prayer - Medicine = Bad combination.

You know, the one where he prays and prays, one thing after another comes to save him (helicopters, life rafts, etc.) but he doesn't use any of them because he says that God will save him.
Eventually the flood takes him away, he drowns, and he dies. He ends up in heaven and asks God, "I prayed for you to save me, so very much, yet you did nothing... why?"
God says, "Miracles do not always stand out in exuberant light, in fact some are quite small. I sent you a bundled raft, a rescue team, and a helicopter, but you chose to take none of them... now I'd say you are ungrateful, my child."
Same kind of thing. I'm sure many doctors, nurses, and/or social workers tried to help them, but they denied it.

I'd have to agree. Stupid people .

I have never heard of that story, but it's so true.

The internet, that's who
I think it's sad that the kid died in the end. I would have preferred that the parents just gotten medicine, but that was their choice
On a side note, I'm not a fan of Jehova's witnesses. Having them tell me that my great grandfathers were immoral people because they were soliders in WWI/II pissed me off.

Yep, every single one of them is an idiot. No really, I don't agree with any religion that is going to completly ignore modern things that help people. That's just stupid. I would like to think that God gave us medicine as a miracle not as something to ignore and try to prove a point with. The only point these people made is that they are incompetent and stupid and deserve to be repremanded for putting their child through this. One of my friends father died from a (mostly) curable form of cancer because his family decided to listen to their pastor and show everyone the "power of God" by refusing and medical treatment. He suffered for almost a year before dying in his home. That is wrong.

Mm I like that story.
On another subject, lets all laugh at how the police chiefs name is Dan Vergin.

I really honestly feel that the parents could take care of her and keep her alive up until this point, then they just got tired of her and her illness and just left her to die. God forbid the other children they have get sick. -.-

This right here was sad though....the parents...man...
I'd take their children away from them right now if not way back before...

I too think this is just the dumbest thing in the whole fucking world. When religion gets to decide who lives and dies in a country, well, then its time for me to choose a new country.

Google: Abuse - mistreat: treat badly
If not taking your kid to a doctor--which resulted in her death--isn't mistreatment, what is?
