i always find it strange that people will drive in man-made cars to man-made shopping centers to buy man-made products, but they won't partake of man-made medicine. why is this one area off limits? that being said, nobody is going to miss kara more than her family. they don't need jail time. they will suffer the rest of their lives.

This is difficult to understand and explain. Some very religious people are strong believers and that is their reality to believe that their child will heal. We dont know all the religions on this planet and therefor can not point a finger. Some religious people are brainwashed too into believing what is taught to them.

This is another example of crazy religious poeple doing stupid things because of a ignorant belief. the bible never tells anyone not to seek medical help.

these people are sickos and need to spend more than 6 mths in prison for allowing thier child to die.

what was wrong with all the others who stood around praying and let the child die? they should be sent to prison also. they were aware and did nothing till the child died.

STUPID, IGNORANT RELIGIOUS ZEALOTS
