NEW: Emma Joyce died at 3 years old. The next year, her sister Ava Joan died.
Then their brother died from the same complication of untreated diabetes that killed Ava Joan.
Later, a fourth sibling died.
Their parents believed in prayer, not medicine.

@ProPublica "Their parents believed in prayer, not medicine."
Ugh. Why is it that these people can never comprehend "God answered your prayers by giving you scientists, doctors, and medicine"?
@ProPublica I'm not anti-religion like many people here, but how stupid and how far people can go to make religion end up looking like a cult.
This type of people aren't religious but cultists.
@ProPublica
that's how religion slop works
R.I.P
@ProPublica The law should be scrapped and the parents should be looking at 4 counts of murder.

Lunatics call this 'religious freedom'.
When your entire belief system is built on an all-powerful old man raping a child to force her to birth his magical son, but tells her he was really a g-g-g-ghost that did the deed, then making her leave town, is NEVER going to result in sane outcomes in any version.
Religion is organized insanity.
Faith kills.
