2nd child of Pa. couple dies after only praying

[joeybee12]

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A couple serving probation for the 2009 death of their toddler after they turned to prayer instead of a doctor could face new charges now that another son has died.

Herbert and Catherine Schaible belong to a fundamentalist Christian church that believes in faith healing. They lost their 8-month-old son, Brandon, last week after he suffered from diarrhea and breathing problems for at least a week, and stopped eating. Four years ago, another son died from bacterial pneumonia.

Prosecutors said Tuesday that a decision on charges will be made after they get the results of an autopsy.

Catherine Schaible's attorney, Mythri Jayaraman, cautioned against a rush to judgment, and said the couple are good parents deeply distraught over the loss of another child.

1. my initial gut reaction is to

lock them in a cell, and let them pray for food and water.
See how well that works for them.

But, as I have said before, the ultra-religious remind me of the mentally ill. These folks need treatment. Long, involved, and heavy duty treatment.

3. Being ultra religious is more an addiction combined with a mental illness

They are trying to fill a hole in their pitiful lives so they turn to God, and then they get way to into it and thats were the mental illness starts.

2. i think gods trying to tell them something

Next they should pray for intelligence.

4. main problem with humans on this planet are fundies of all stripes...

I wish one would be able to literally smack the stupid out of people

5. If they are not found guilty of

gross negligence and incarcerated, they should be sterilized. They were allowed a pass the first time and now they have killed a second child. I don't give a rat's ass what they believe - they are unfit to parent.

6. They should have gone to prison the first time around.
