"By the time the little girl, Alayna, was six months old the benign tumor had grown to the size of a baseball. Even when it pushed her eyeball out of its socket, her parents, Timothy Wyland 44, and his wife Rebecca, 24, still refused to take her to a doctor. They are both members of the Followers of Christ Church, an unorthodox Christian sect based in the state of Oregon that shuns medicine."

Parents ‘Tried to Cure Baby’s Baseball-Size Face Tumor with Faith Healing’ – Charged with Child Abuse

I find it interesting that so many people are up in arms about a mother not telling nosey adults the gender of her baby but are quietly passive when brainwashed morons actually do something that harms the kid. So sad.

I wonder if it would change things if The Lord told those parents to keep the sex of their baby under wraps. At that point it's religious freedom instead of "omg those liberal loony nutjobs".

Yes, the freedom to let your child go blind because your imaginary friend said it's cool.

How very sad for the child! Her parents are should be charged, but it took them too long to do it.

Imaginary friends don't judge, real people do. Were finally growing out of adult imaginary friend dependency.
