An 11 year old from Wisconsin died last week from diabetic ketoacidosis after her parents decided not to get medical attention, but instead 'prayed for healing. The autopsy stated that she had probably been ill for about 30 days. The full story is here.
Some people shouldn't be allowed to keep pets, never mind children. Probably the worst part about the story was the comment from the local police chief, concerning the dead girl's three siblings, ranging in age from 13 to 16. "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."
If denying medical help to a sick child is not abuse, then what is?
