Is that true? That's absolutely appalling.

I can't understand how it can be a legally reasonable thing to leave such parents as those in this story in a position of responsibility for their children's wellbeing. Their actions (or inactions) are demonstrably harmful to the point of lethality - not only demonstrably, but demonstratedly, tragically.

Would parents with a devout opposition to premarital food be allowed to starve their children? Could hardcore naturists refuse to provide their kids with clothes?

I can't agree with the posters here calling these people subhuman and calling for death penalties, though I appreciate the gut frustration. This is a very sad example of the potential harmfulness of devout delusions. People in any society worth living in should have state protection from the harm that such delusions would do them.
