Faith healing kills another boy

Allowing your son to die when a simple visit to the doctor would save his life is at least negligent homicide. Praying over a boy suffering for vomiting and diarrhea is an ineffective treatment and irresponsible, I don’t care what your faith dictates. Greg and JaLea Swezey killed their son Zachery Swezey. They should be held accountable.

When he fell ill March 15, the 17-year-old Carlton boy's parents, Greg and JaLea Swezey, thought he had food poisoning. But over the next three days, they realized it was something else, perhaps the flu. He'd had a fever, and was vomiting with severe diarrhea.

They prayed while he died. What the hell? How do you live with yourself after letting your son die an agonizing death from a ruptured appendix?

The Swezey’s are members of the Mormon cult, Church of the First Born.

This is absolutely sick. I'm glad it wouldn't be tolerated where I live. From the point of a view of this atheist raised in an Orthodox Christian country, most of divisions of churches in USA are sects, more or less. RIP Carlton Swezey. :(
Just a quick little pointer: they lived in Carlton, but the kid's name was Zachery Swezey.

But yes, indeed, these sad excuses for parents deserve nothing less than criminal prosecution for allowing their son to die such a drawn-out, torturous death.

Thanks. I'll fix that as soon as I get near a computer.
The Amish do the same thing.
That state law in Washington is unconstitutional. It is a law that respects an establishment of religion.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..."

This statement, "...by a duly accredited Christian Science practitioner in lieu of medical care is not considered deprived of medically necessary health care or abandoned." is explicitly respecting a specific religion and allowing it protection under the law of the State of Washington.

This article sends chills down my spine.
Zach was not part of a mormon group, research your facts a little better.
