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.

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.
@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.

@ProPublica If laws don’t protect children, they don’t protect anyone.
Children are the future. They are the potential for change. Maybe one of these kids would have transcended their religious upbringing and become a leader?
