Prayer/Faith Healing Sentencing

Today Dale and Leilani Neumann were sentenced in the death of their daughter, Kara.

They will have extended supervision/probation for 10 years. In a way of tribute to Kara, they each will serve 30 days of county jail for the next six years - adding up to about 6 months of jail time for both of them. The judge's feeling was that they should be able to raise their remaining three children. Additionally, he felt the risk to the community is low.

And of course you know I think this is crap, worse than a slap on the wrist. Just another example of people getting away with murder. Oh, excuse me, it was second degree reckless homicide.

I find it quite interesting. I think the judge put alot of thought into it, to come up with something as unique as this for a sentence. I don't necessarily feel it's fair, but he obviously is keeping the remaining children in mind.

Umm ok i can see she died of complications from diabeties .. did they just not believe in getting medical care or what? seems easy enough to help this girl I mean who live with it , and I know many others living with it daily so why would any parent just not do anything and why in the hell would a judge see this as pretty much ok , what if another child gets sick .. will they recieve treatment?? this is sick you know how I feel specially when I see shit like this and then think about my own situation .. let a child die and your still able to raise your other children .. do everything right and lose them .. its a fucked up world .. grrr
