the stupid burns

Turns out that killing your kid by not getting them treatment for a simple thing like juvenile diabetes is only worth 6 months in prison if you do it for religious reasons.

Because apparently criminal neglect is a-okay if you do it because you thought God would fix it.

It's tough to find the line there, I agree, but surely murdering a child through neglect would have to count. The foster care system has a lot of problems even in the best of states, but... for goodness' sake, that's got to be better than letting these people kill another kid because, oops, we thought God would fix it.
