Some religious fanatics commit an utterly incomprehensible evil by harming or even killing their children by trying to heal them through faith instead of turning to doctors and modern medicine.

Most states treat such parents as the abusers they are. But six states have religious shield laws that protect parents of such beliefs pretty much regardless of the harm they cause their kids.Do u think that it should b a universal law where children r concerned.?

Absolustely, if my parents had used prayer to heal me instead of a doctor there were more than one occasion I would have died. My folks were religious but also had a lot of common sense too thankfully and It makes me shudder how many of these whackos choose to endanger children they claim to love by withhold medical attention.

Too bad this lady didn't get the surgery she needed.

Stop pretending medicine helps all of us all the time, please. It's gotten to the point where I go to doctors and tell them which tests to run. And if I didn't keep track of research and which medications are contraindicated by other disorders I have, the doctors would have killed me years ago.

I have better luck and symptom relief visiting an old Chinese herbalist.

If you have Juvenile Diabetes, a Chinese herbalist would just kill you.

@sewchick57, of course it's dependent on what's going wrong, but mainstream medicine has nearly killed me 10x and counting, and that's just from the stuff I'm old enough to remember.

They are wilfully ignorant.

As the parents have become imune to rational thought, and allowed themselves to be dictated to some mindless religion, they should be forced by law to have the childs needs attended to, as best as modern medicine dictates. " suffer the little children to come unto me, but for christs sake, you must not have a blood transfusion, you must have faith, pray hard, and die with dignity !

Yes. It's wilful neglect leading to murder regardless the age of the victim.

When anyone is harmed for any reason due to "religious" beliefs it is our duty as a community to protect the victim.

Not just children but any vulnerable individual. There are plenty of adults who, for one reason or another, cannot make their own medical decisions.

It should be universal, children in all states deserve to be protected.

Yeah. But a few states will just not enforce the law for their own brand of craziness.
