Child dies due to faith healing; parents get 6 months of jail time

[Rhyfelwyr]

......And that's exactly why I object to 6 months of "jail" for killing your own daughter.

Since you believe doing time is all about rehabilitation, what do you propose for these parents that would actually make them healthy members of society?

I'm all about rehabilitation, and I also have a deep hatred of locking people away.

Unfortunately, I'm also a big fan of "everyone being equal before the law". This case will be an exception, good for them, but bad for the rest of us. They should, of course, get the same punishment any other person gets for killing another human being in their state.

How high I want the sentence to be is really beyond the question.

Here is another example of child neglect, like that in this case. 15 years in prison, and they didn't even kill their child. Their fault was to get high on pills, not Jesus, as that gets you a free pass to whack your kids. Somebody should've told 'em....

There is a very different intent there, these parents were not "neglectful" in the same since. They believed they were doing the right thing, the best thing. Intent must be taken into account.
