Idaho has faith healing exemptions that also applies to children. If a certain religion believes that only prayer should be used to heal, they cannot be prosecuted if their child dies because they did not seek medical care.

So now some teens have come forward and accused their father of molesting them from the age of 1. All 4 of his girls were molested up to the age of about 12, and the mother admits she knew.

She says she prayed to get the demons out of her husband. She has known for 17 years and that's all she did was pray. She was arrested along with her husband.

Now many people think she has a chance of getting the charges dropped due to Idaho's faith healing exemptions. Her religion officially does not believe in involving outside authorities when a crime has been committed.

The spousal privilege might apply, since typically a spouse cannot be forced to testify against their own spouse, at least in US law.

Little different from the "alternative" cancer treatments you advocate which also lead to unnecessary deaths.

Oh, please not even close.

Anyone can choose their treatment plans for their cancers. I don't advocate to anyone...Free choice on treatments. Millions out there work alternatively to treat their cancers. Pharma is not the only course of treatment. And plenty die with pharma treatments. No one knows exact numbers on any of this.

We're talking about what a sick father did to his children.

Why not stay on topic?

Can't see how it would apply. He was harming others, not himself.
