The neurologist host of the podcast I mention is sympathetic toward the parents since he sees parents all the time who will desperately cling to anything that might give them hope, and reserves his anger for the "psychic". He has more understanding than I do--I think the parents are indeed negligent and as responsible as the charlatan for whatever happens. I can’t agree with you more.

I am an ardent supporter of religious freedom. And I also believe the government should have as little intervention in our lives as possible. But when a life is endangered, particularly the life of a helpless child, I draw the line. I have no sympathy whatsoever for people who would stand by and let their babies die because they don’t “believe” in modern medicine. It angers me that this country allows the death of children because we are so shackled to the idea of religious freedom. And then the religious zealots try to criminalize abortion, why? Because it’s the death of a child! It makes no sense! In a perfect world, the state would immediately take possession of this child and get her into medical treatment, and the psychic would be jailed. But alas, our world is not perfect.
