A Philadelphia couple — serving 10 years' probation for the 2009 death of their toddler after they turned to prayer instead of a doctor — has violated their probation now that another of their children has died.
Herbert and Catherine Schaible belong to a fundamentalist Christian church that believes in faith-healing
Philadelphia Judge Benjamin Lerner said at a hearing they violated the most important condition of their probation: to seek medical care for their remaining children.
Couple watches 2nd son die while praying instead of seeking medical help.
A couple serving probation for the 2009 death of their toddler after they turned to prayer instead of a doctor could face new charges now that another son has died.
"Herbert and Catherine Schaible belong to a fundamentalist Christian church that believes in faith healing. They lost their 8-month-old son, Brandon, last week after he suffered from diarrhea and breathing problems for at least a week, and stopped eating. Four years ago, another son died from bacterial pneumonia."*
I don't know how these parents could stand to watch two young children suffer and slowly die while doing nothing! I hope they are charged with first degree murder. They knew that their prayers led to the death of their older son, so surely they knew the younger son would also die.

I agree, but they are both brain dead. Where does it say not to seek medical help in the bible? I know, they want to prove the power of prayer, but no one told them that God was preoccupied that week. Further proof of the non-existence of a God when he would give the ability to procreate to these morons.

These "pro-life" Christians had seven other children! These children are now in foster homes. At least these children are safe now.
