Dana,

Try simply leaving their faith out of the question. What if the child was sick, but the parents did or didn't do xyz and as a result of those actions or inactions, the child died, which is exactly what happened here. In this case, it was inaction. What if the parents didn't provide enough food for the child? I see your hungry, but oh well. Or shelter? You're not cold, you're just faking. That's simple neglect. Gross, fatal neglect, and the child died as a result of that neglect. What then? Jail?
