Now that the father has followed the mother in being convicted of homicide is this really a case of people being punished for the "crime of praying" ?

Re: Freedom of religion
A terrible shame that a little lass had to die because of ignorance. I predict this thread gets locked before dinner.
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.
“Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”
To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

We have incidents like that as well in the bible-belt, people refusing to give their children certain vaccinations, really difficult subject to me, to force or not to force.
Re: Freedom of religion
it was an act of willful neglect, and I hope they throw the book at the both of them.

A definite Darwin Award. I already feel the gene-pool is cleaner.
I've had some in who didn't give their children a vaccine against Measles and wanted to know the signs. I basically said I'd never seen Measles in my medical career - but they'd made this choice, right?
It's not what I'd do, but yes, this is freedom of religion.
An enemy that wishes to die for their country is the best sort to face - you both have the same aim in mind.

Re: Freedom of religion
This is area is a little hazy in the legal department; you're definitely right that this was the Parent's choice in maintaining their right to freedom of religion, but the same logic may not always apply to their children, and tragically usually only brought to the Legal System's attention after an easily preventable death has occurred.A definite Darwin Award.

Re: Freedom of religion
Vaccinations are far different, to me. This is scorning medical help for a sick child, because you think praying will save them, instead of medical attention. It goes against the principle of not testing God, and of preserving life as best you can.
