Re: You give some people a 2nd chance and. . . .
Parents have certain inalienable rights that do not include failing to provide medical care any more than they may fail to provide food and protection from harm. If they do there are agencies that can and will be granted temporary custody of the child and see to it that necessary treatment is done. However authorities must first be aware that there is a problem. If parents fail feed or protect their child and the child dies as a result there are penalties and so should there be here. Religion is no excuse to kill ones child either actively or passively. If it were, Andrea Yates should have been within her rights as a mother to drown her five children. Children are not chattel, they are tiny humans with rights.
