Remember the parents in Pennsylvania who had a second child die from an entirely treatable condition while on probation for doing the same thing to another child? They?ve now been charged with third degree murder. They also face a separate hearing for violating the probation.
The couple are charged with the third-degree murder of Brandon Scott Schaible. The baby, just over 7 months old, died in April of bacterial pneumonia and dehydration.
?Sadly, there is only one reason for it: his parents,? District Attorney Seth Williams said at a news conference. ?Instead of caring and nurturing him, they ultimately caused his death by praying over his body rather than taking him to the doctor.?
A medical examiner ruled Tuesday that Brandon?s death April 18 was a homicide, the Philadelphia Daily News reported. The medical examiner said the child began experiencing difficulty breathing, irritability and decreased appetite three days before he died.
At the time of their infant son?s death, the couple were already on probation for the 2009 death of their 2-year-old son Kent, who died after they decided to simply pray for his recovery rather than take him for medical care.
They belong to a church that teaches that it is a sin to go to the doctor because it proves that you lack faith in God to heal. Faith is not some vaguely good thing, it?s downright dangerous in many cases.
