The parents are at fault according to everyone else, so lets punish them with a jail sentence. If what they believe they did is truly right, then that will do nothing but waste my tax dollars. If this is how they were supposed to go about things in God's eyes, they'll get what they deserve sooner or later.

but do they have that right? as parents, it is their legal responsibility to take care of and protect their child. just because it is their religous belief that medicine is bad and prayer is good, is that still not neglectful seeing as how an infant can't also make that decision? as adults they can make that decision for themselves, but do parents have the right to endanger the lives of their children who are too young to understand what is going on and make that decision of belief for themselves?
