Girl Dies After Parents Pray Instead of Seeking HelpPolice: Girl Dies After Parents Pray for Healing Instead of Seeking Medical HelpWednesday, March 26, 2008 WESTON, Wis. — An 11-year-old girl died after her parents prayed for healing rather than seek medical help for a treatable form of diabetes, police said Tuesday. Everest Metro Police Chief Dan Vergin said Madeline Neumann died Sunday. "She got sicker and sicker until she was dead," he said. Vergin said an autopsy determined the girl died from diabetic ketoacidosis, an ailment that left her with too little insulin in her body, and she had probably been ill for about 30 days, suffering symptoms like nausea, vomiting, excessive thirst, loss of appetite and weakness. The girl's parents, Dale and Leilani Neumann, attributed the death to "apparently they didn't have enough faith," the police chief said. They believed the key to healing "was it was better to keep praying. Call more people to help pray," he said. The mother believes the girl could still be resurrected, the police chief said. Telephone messages left at the Neumann home by The Associated Press were not immediately returned. The family does not attend an organized church or participate in an organized religion, Vergin said. "They have a little Bible study of a few people." The parents told investigators their daughter last saw a doctor when she was 3 to get some shots, Vergin said. The girl had attended public school during the first semester but didn't return for the second semester. Officers went to the home after one of the girl's relatives in California called police to check on her, Vergin said. She was taken to a hospital where she was pronounced dead. The relative was fearful the girl was "extremely ill, dire," Vergin said. The girl has three siblings, ranging in age from 13 to 16, the police chief said. "They are still in the home," he said. "There is no reason to remove them. There is no abuse or signs of abuse that we can see." The girl's death remains under investigation and the findings will be forwarded to the district attorney to review for possible charges, the chief said. The family operates a coffee shop in Weston, which is a suburb of Wausau, Vergin said. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,341574,00.html |

I hope they get beaten to death with a cross! I honestly believe that no faith can cure something that is already curable. Damien: These parents need to wake up to a cup of gafc and shouldn't rely on God to solve something someone on Earth can do! | ||

i hate stupid people and even more when it gets someone killed cause people are fucking retards | ||

Well if you look at this from their p.o.v. they may have been sane but their faith was unhealthy. They saw many people get cured from far worse and it was from faith alone-Damien: You're forgetting that there was some medical assistance, but it was mostly the faith that appeared to be the factor. They may have gone beyond the realm of fuck-ups but you can't help but feel sorry for their total dependence to their God. | ||

like my dad. he is the reason why i have faith. He was supposed to die like 3 times. and the chances of survival were Extremly slim, and now he is healthy enough to ride a bike. His life expectancy was supposed to die out before i graduated. and now hes going to get to see me graduate. But he still had to have some medical assistance! these people are idiots. | ||
| Death Bat |
yes i can not feel bad for their dependence because it got a young kid killed because they are retards and thought praying helps |
||
| SYLUXMASTER7227 |
thats called a miracle :P |
||
| Death Bat |
yeah i have less and less faith every year but its more of a i dont reall care | ||
| Brandon |
9 times out of 10 they just used that as a way of getting out of child abuse or something, they most likely don't believe in God. | ||
| Death Bat |
or they are looney | ||
| Brandon |

I think that they might have had a missunderstanding of their own religion. . .like I believe that there is a god and stuff, but i also believe that he is like "hands off". . .we live our lives and do whatever we want because he doesnt tamper with free will. . . so if he cant intervene into our daily living. . (raining fire, parting seas, burning bushes) then he isnt going to save some girl because her parents are too stupid to take her to a hospital. I personally think that god may give you signs. . .but when it is extreme stupidity or you are looking to prove god exists by making your daughter suffer till she dies because you think god is going to come down and say . .. "you are healed". . .they you truly are retarded.
I dunno. . Im not trying to preach. . .its just my opinion. People need to demonstrate intelligence and common sense and just have faith that god exists cause you arent going to get some sort of visual or physical phenomenon like back in biblical times. |

I agree | ||
| SYLUXMASTER7227 |
i agree too
from what i understand most of the bible is exaggeration |
||
| Kabal |
Well its kinda tough to claim whether it was real or not because it was soo long ago and everything seems soo far fetched. .. but they actually found the base of noah's ark or something on top of a mountain. . .so i dunno. . .
Wierd stuff. but these people are definitely stupid |
||
| SYLUXMASTER7227 |
yea i have a feeling that everythings just an exaggeration of the truth and its to late to prove it wrong and yea these ppl are mentally disabled |
||
| Robby |
Wow that's weird. And uh, sux I guess. =[ | ||
| Brandon |
wow robby thats the best thing i EVER heard.... | ||
| Devilboy |
Dayum.That's sad. I say they take the other children awawy before it happens again because obviously those retards are to wrapped up in religious bullshit to use common sense. | ||
| finnsonc |
I seriously hope that the other kids don't grow up like their parents. That would be a tragedy waiting to happen.
I'm actually surprised that no one even looked to see what their were doing when they pulled their kid out of school. Isn't that illegal? |

...
This is why I believe, yet do not worship. I try to solve problems on my own before I beg a higher power. |

| the hunter |
pray is a last resort, you cant exspect god to do everything for you. it doesnt work like that | ||
