Man Found Guilty For Praying Instead Of Taking Daughter to Doctor

While any citizen of the United States has the right to refuse medical treatment, and can choose to "pray" instead, you cannot refuse care for your child and pray instead! This is the absolute center of religious wackoness! Anyone who would pray over a sick child instead of seeking medical treatment should be jailed.

Wis. jury finds father guilty of killing daughter by praying, not seeking medical care

from this article: Wis. Jury: Father Guilty in Prayer Death Case

This man neglected his child so long, she died, right on the floor of her home with religious wackos standing over her and praying.

A central Wisconsin man accused of killing his 11-year-old daughter by praying instead of seeking medical care was found guilty Saturday of second-degree reckless homicide.

Doctors say she could have easily been cured had she been brought to a doctor.

Doctors testified that Madeline would have had a good chance of survival if she had received medical care, including insulin and fluids, before she stopped breathing.

Nothing fails quite like a prayer, does it?

Dale Neumann, 47, was convicted in the March 23, 2008, death of his daughter, Madeline, from undiagnosed diabetes. Prosecutors contended he should have rushed the girl to a hospital because she couldn't walk, talk, eat or drink. Instead, Madeline died on the floor of the family's rural Weston home as people surrounded her and prayed. Someone called 911 when she stopped breathing.

Why call this guy a wacko? Let me get to that...

Neumann, who once studied to be a Pentecostal minister, testified Thursday that he believed God would heal his daughter and he never expected her to die. God promises in the Bible to heal, he said.

So should we get rid of our hostpitals and doctors in America because the bible says God will heal us? Absurd!

"If I go to the doctor, I am putting the doctor before God," Neumann testified. "I am not believing what he said he would do."

This man wilfully neglected his daughter and it resulted in her death. He tried to say he thought she had the flu, but when you read his disregard for doctors you know that is only being said to weasel his way out of responsibility for his own daughters death and casting it off on God.

Neumann knew he should have taken his daughter to a doctor and minimized her illness when speaking with investigators, Jacobson said, calling Neumann no different than a drunken driver who remarks he only had a couple of beers.

People like this who use the bible as a means to neglect and kill should be locked away from the population. In 2009, it is time to put down the bible and pick up the book of reason and logic which tells us medicine works and prayer does not.

Everyone who prayed in that room should be on trial and/or in jail for neglectful and willful manslaughter.
