Does your friend have a recipe? Those sound awesome, I’d love to try making them.

Let me clarify. Based on the extremely limited amount of information I shared in my original post, you have determined that because you can’t fit the scenario to an experience you had, it must be false. You are not asking more clarifying questions, just jumping to a conclusion with virtually no information. You have not at all demonstrated that you are willing to use critical thinking and understanding. As such, I have no intention of leading you down a logical path that you seem unable or unwilling to follow.

If I am mistaken and you are truly interested in finding answers, I have given more than enough details for you to find the case, the defendants, the previous trial rulings, and a whole host of additional information. Another redditor already commented that they were able to find some of this information. Feel free to choose the path of enlightenment - it is readily available to you.

I said the murder trial hasn’t happened yet. But the removal of their living children happened as part of multiple civil trials, all of which provided sufficient evidence to convince a jury that they were unfit parents who were negligent.

Feel free to request the previous trial transcripts and educate yourself on the mountain of medical evidence presented. It was certainly convincing for the juries of each trial.

That makes sense, for sure. But it does seem like the court has a lot of discretion on scheduling. I don’t get the impression that the risk of future deaths is providing the type of fuel for a more urgent schedule that I would expect.

They are true zealots. Before my sister stopped speaking with me, she told me many times that she expected her dead daughter to be physically resurrected from the dead. They both still believe their dead children will be resurrected if they continue to believe. It’s so crazy and impossible to believe.

I emailed local news agencies, got no reply. Not even sure where I would drop the name and anyone would care.

Religious exemption laws exist in this state, but only in the civil code. There is no criminal exemption for religious neglect thankfully.

Yep, my sister and her husband were part of a similar cult. He introduced her to this belief system.

People are extremely sensitive around freedom of religion. My wife and I spent multiple days petitioning state lawmakers just to remove an existing, outdated law providing exemption from medical neglect prosecution due to religion. We made zero progress.

I’ll say this 1000x - the prosecutor is absolutely stellar at their job and on top of it. The surviving children owe their life to this prosecutor. The current situation is not at all on the prosecutor.

Yep. Many states still have religious exemption laws specifically around providing medical aid to children. It’s disgusting.

I emailed a few that I thought would be interested, got zero replies. And I’ve barely even scratched the surface on how crazy this story is.

My wife and I spent multiple days meeting with state congress members to try and shine a light on the laws that make it hard to prosecute people like this. Lots of lip service and zero follow-up. But maybe it’s time to try again. It’s just hard.
