Yes, take their kids away. As citizens, children must be protected by the state from their parents.

Then what? And at what point determines a bad parent? You?
Sorry, I worked for social services before, and nobody there had the intelligence to determine that.

after your child dies due to neglect i think darwin has determined that you are a bad parent.

I hate to sound cruel, but why do we want the children of stupid people to survive?

Why should a child suffer because of stupid parents?

Religious freedom applies to individuals. A parent may not project his/her belief onto his/her child. End of the story.

What world are you living in? If parents didn't project their beliefs onto their kids there wouldn't be religion in the first place. Parents have every legal right to project their fairy tales onto their kids and the ones protecting that right are the ones doing it to their own kids.

So you're a chicken-not-the-egg guy then? Do you have some kind of proof or is this just a matter of faith to you?

IOW, as animals don't have religions, and if religions wouldn't exist without parents projecting their beliefs onto their kinds in the first place, then how did humans get religions in the first place?

This is murder, plain and simple. If people want to forgo medical treatment because of their idiotic belief in a fairytale, let them. But when children are involved, the government needs to step in and stop pussing out to the religious morons in this country. Freedom of Religion means freedom from a set governmental religion, not complete disregard of standard decency, law, and logic in the name of religious freedom. It isn't the time of witches, demons, and mass murder in the name of a god anymore; we need to distinguish between logic and idiocy at some point.

So you would take away every Christian Scientists' in the US's kids because they won't allow doctors to help them if they are dying?

How about the people who aren't smart enough to realize if their child is sick? Do we take away their kids too?

How about people who are not horrible parents but bad parents?

How about people who feed their kids McDonalds every other day? They are setting up a life that will kill their kids eventually.


There is no law that says you must seek medical attention for a child, and what is logical and decent to you is not to them. I personally disagree with these people but they have every right to feel and act this way. On the other hand, I was a lifeguard. If some parent wouldn't let me help their dying child I would have punched them out and helped the kid, lawsuit be damned.

Yes, take their kids away. As citizens, children must be protected by the state from their parents.

So what weight do we take their kids away? How many trips a week to Mickey D's? What is a parent is opposed to drugs but will give them to their kid if needed? They might act too late!

Right on crap like this needs to be prosecuted.....

If someone takes a child to a doctor or a hospital for anything potentially life threatening it should be mandatory that proper treatment is recieved and buy a certain date or child services should investigate.....
