Religious nut lets daughter die

"Putting the doctor before God"

[faceless]

Does rural mean that they don't have social-workers in the area?

I'm with you 100% major. Doesn't make any sense to me. I need clothes, I go and buy them or sort something out myself. I don't pray to god for that. Or when I need a drink, etc

Face, there will be social services but if no one called it in, social services won't come out to make a visit. If he thought she had the flu he would have just called it in to the school as "She has the flu". If she has never shown any signs of abuse then there would be no reason for the school to report. And at the age of 11, outside of the schools, there are few who would report. And was she home schooled? Social workers won't make a visit if the don't know whats going on. The reason they would even of had the charges against them is because the hospital that responded when they called the ambulance would have called the police when the girl died and they knew what happened.

This kind of religion is no different to the delusions that people with schizophrenia have...

There should be a competency test for all parents professing such madness.
