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.

Maybe their faith will get stronger in prison. Apparently it's not up to par right now.

Didn't read the article but not sure why the masses are calling for prison?

Would you imprison a Jehovah's Witness for not accepting a blood transfusion?

OK, JW witness disallows their child to accept a transfusion: You send them to prison?

Would you imprison parents for trying to pray away their child's hunger instead of giving him food? Freedom of religion does not grant freedom of child negligence.

I'm Muslim. You going to imprison me for not feeding my kid pork if that's all there is to eat?

The government cannot infringe upon your religious beliefs until the practice of those beliefs cause harm to others.
After the first kid died, I can see them getting a slap on the wrist even though it was negligent homicide\ voluntary manslaughter.
Second kid's death goes beyond negligence.
