@ProPublica "Their parents believed in prayer, not medicine."
Ugh. Why is it that these people can never comprehend "God answered your prayers by giving you scientists, doctors, and medicine"?
@mjc0961 @ProPublica it’s the never-dying parable of the drowning man…

@Thorium @ProPublica How backwards of them.
@weirdfoodie @ProPublica In every way. Very happy that I moved out of that state. There's enough white supremacist, Christian nationalists to swamp any reasonable voters and keep them verging on the 1850s.

NEW: Emma Joyce died at 3 years old. The next year, her sister Ava Joan died.
Then their brother died from the same complication of untreated diabetes that killed Ava Joan.
Later, a fourth sibling died.

Lunatics call this 'religious freedom'.
When your entire belief system is built on an all-powerful old man raping a child to force her to birth his magical son, but tells her he was really a g-g-g-ghost that did the deed, then making her leave town, is NEVER going to result in sane outcomes in any version.
Religion is organized insanity.Faith kills.

@ProPublica
oh so they CAN afford to save them and decided not to? that's murder, not neglect, they are not doctors. if a law is shielding this, that's called homicide complicity.
Why do you even have laws? -

@ProPublica If laws don’t protect children, they don’t protect anyone.
Children are the future. They are the potential for change. Maybe one of these kids would have transcended their religious upbringing and become a leader?

@ProPublica These people are fucking ridiculous. For thousands of years, countless human beings would have given anything to have access (for them or loved ones) to the vaccines and treatments we’ve developed since the 19th century. And now, people are handed all of it on a silver platter—and still choose to refuse it. 🤮

I don’t care if they are prosecuted, I just want someone to look out first for the interests of the child: we are all caretakers of children’s rights until they are able to do so themselves, and the first of their rights - the one we must guard most zealously - is their right to life.
