Fundamentalist couple chooses prayer over medicine again, kills second child

[Sam the Wiser]

This is one of those instances where "freedom of Religion" should be trounced. You should not be allowed to force your religious standards on others, ESPECIALLY children who can't speak for themselves. These people should have been locked up for life and force-sterilized the FIRST time they killed a kid with weaponized stupidity.

Reply's like these always crack me up. Then I remember what site I'm on.

Omg castrate the father and rip out the mothers ovaries before they head off to prison why are monsters like this allowed to breed?

I'm far more worried about the million plus killed a year in America by abortion.

Infracted - please do not drive the thread off topic

Just going to leave this here- 8th amendment-Prohibits excessive fines and excessive bail, as well as cruel and unusual punishment.

Hahahahahahahahah. You're asking for it my friend. Trying to start a reaction like this does not end well, especially with a dumb statement like that.

Oh boy! Oh no you didn't!

Yea ofc in reality that would never happen. It's just sickening ppl like that are parents.

Their remaining 7 children.... This is a horror story.

My thoughts exactly.

It seems strange (read: horrifying) to me that watching their second child die is only a violation of the probation they were put on from watching their first child die.

[Morden]

they're the sort of people you hope catch something which is perfectly treatable but deadly if ignored. Would be interesting to see whether their faith applies to themselves, or whether they just enjoy watching their children die. To me it seems like a way to get away with murder, bit like the old asylums where they would leave patients out in the cold...

Pff the child just took a short cut to heaven. How is that bad?

Honestly they should be tried for manslaughter. Beliefs of any kind do not take precedent over human life.

[Vyxn]

first i want to say those parents should not be allowed to have anymore kids and if they do they should be taken away

But i would like to ask some of the posters that have been spewing hate over their chosen religion and would like to add Fundamentalist Christians are very much so on the fringe would you spew the same hate for a religion that teaches and advocates the killing of innocent non believers?
I don't remember seeing any hate being spewed about Muslims in the Boston bombing thread

Prayer doesn't do shit for them either.

I'm certainly happy to, but it's infractable here. I have a clear pecking order for what religions I have the most distaste for though, and the ones that kill in the name of their deities are my least favorite.

Then lets outlaw both shall we; give some extra liberty to all people.

I laughed. So totally going to hell.

Yeah, right. Let's outlaw a perfectly harmless medical procedure and incentivize getting much more dangerous back-alley versions of it!

I'm continually amused by your "location" when combined with your authoritarian rhetoric. I suppose it could be taken as an endorsement.

[The Riddler]

Without condoning what the parents did (which is certainly awful)...

Kermit Gosnell. 1,000 times worse than these parents. 1/1,000 of the outrage on this forum.

Just saying.

That's nowhere the same as letting your born child die from illness.

Then lets outlaw both shall we; give some extra liberty to all people.

And then supress the mothers ability to decide over her own body? Hypocrite, I very much doubt you'd give up your own right to autonomy.

Abortion isn't necessarily murder, whilst it is still the "removal" of life, it is technically the prevention of life, rather than the extermination of it.

Also rape babies.

I'm sure your outrage more than compensates for the lack of general outrage.
