In the long run, no. In short-sighted physical, societal view, yes.

Yet, the outrage spoken here is about uniform parenting, is it not? What happened to allowing the freedom of religion? Who is to say what is wrong or right to believe?

General tone gathered from the post. Besides, "society" tends to always view a child's death more tragically than an adult's.

Takes awhile to be reminded of all these mud lessons and how to maneuver. Yet, there is a poster, I'm reluctant to say, who was correct in that the basic personality of the adult is formed by age six or so.

Yet there are studies that reveal it is the belief of a cure that can do just as much good.

The only life anyone plays with is their own. Sorry, we're just not going to agree here.

Courage? The parents don't sound like they were intimidating her but not a lot has been reported.

Well, just to bring it back to the original post...later reporting of the other children shows no sign of neglect or abuse.
