I understand that due to religious reasons they cannot seek medical treatment for their children or themselves. due to the fact that "god will heal" etc.

I respect their religious right, and if it was one of the adults who had cancer, i would say, let him or her die with their religious beliefs . . . but this is a child, whom they are inflicting THEIR religious beliefs upon they do NOT have the right to let their child die. the state was correct to intervene in this circumstance.
