The curative power of the prayer

Two idiots are Jeffrey Beagley y Marci Rae. That, in principle, it would not be necessary a news but it distinguishes them as a consequence of his imbecility his 16-year-old son died. An avoidable death and essentially deliberate. While the normal people take his son to a sanitary center when there are problems of health, this Oregón couple preferred to pray to manage to treat the illness of his refusing to hospitalize it.

The history began on March 30, 2008, when an anonymous call to an institution of social services warned that a boy called Neil Beagley had big difficulties to breathe and could die if they were not attending to it quickly. An employee came to the house of the Beagley and after a pair of days it managed to see the boy who weakened in a rocking chair, said to him that he did not want to go to the doctor. Neil Beagley was still a patient and without medical treatment for weeks until on June 17 he died for a not diagnosed urinal complaint not, of course, treated.
His parents belong to the Church of Christ's Followers, an evangelical sect established in Oregón that pushes the medicine back and uses more "spiritual enough" alternative methods as the prayer and the hand imposition. The results of similar bothers have become clear.
The judgment has ended and the parents have been found guilty of murder by criminal negligence. This crime might suppose up to 10 years of jail but, on not having had criminal records, one waits for a maximum sorrow of 18 months. The judgment will become public next February 18.
Looking for information, I found a comment in OregonLive.com that gives shakes:

These are the first members of the guilty Followers of Christ of murder in a gathering with a long history of children died by medically friendly illnesses.

And the fact is that, in effect, the case is not only. In February, 2008 Ava Worthington had only one year and a half of age and it fell ill. His parents, Carl and Raylene, refused to give him medical treatment supporting that the prayer was the necessary only thing to treat his daughter. The result was that Ava died on March 2 for a friendly bacterial pneumonia with antibiotics. The father was condemned to two months of jail and a period of five years of conditional freedom. In spite of his sinister achievement they have not hesitated to open a web defending his constitutional law to the freedom of religion (and, it is supposed, to allow to die to his children if the case comes). These types were, as the first ones, members of the Church of the Followers of Christ de Oregón.
Very probably the truth is still much harder since it is suspected that approximately twenty-five children died in the last ten years of friendly ailments, "some in atrocious circumstances". In this article some cases are mentioned more with proper names: Four-year-old Alex Dale Morris, or eleven-year-old Bo Phillips.
And we have not ended since I have found any articles that do a review of these deaths due to the religious fanaticism. But today it is late and to write this has stopped without desire keeping on reading to me. Good evening.
