So is not giving them medical care. Glad we agree.


This is one definition of neglect: "to be remiss in the care or treatment of." Letting your kids die out of incompetence and stupidity because you fail to take reasonable measures to keep them safe, healthy is certainly negligent. If they die, it's negligent homicide. The first duty of a parent is to use all reasonable measures to provide for the health, welfare of their children.


You said it was ok if the parents killed their kids by praying instead of giving their kids medical treatment. It also therefore follows that it's okay to kill their kids by praying instead of feeding them, if that is what they believe. Failing to provide competent, reasonable medical attention to your children because you're a retard is just as negligent behaviour as is failing to feed them properly because you're a retard. You don't really understand this concept.

There is no such thing as the freedom to kill and/or neglect your children, regardless of what you may think otherwise. Praying to cure cancer will do nothing, except kill your kids. A competent parent would know this. You'd have to be a moron to think it would "help." You've obviously failed in your duties at that point.
