Also, there are 4, FOUR Kenny Charles, and not on the same side, in my family. And there were two separate brothers both with the first name Charles. My maternal grandparents had 3 (or 4, I honestly loose count and there was at least one baby sold off) siblings with the same name. I swear, they either recycle the same 5 names, or just pick the most batshit crazy ones they can think of.

Yep, knew that about H.E.B., I think every Texas kid learned that growing up, especially if you took the historical tour.
My great Uncle, one of A.D.s brother's, was an infamous moonshiner during prohibition. His name was...wait for it...
Jethro (long E, Jeethro, not Jethro like Clampit though)
He was so sought after that when they finally caught him, despite it being the lae to immediately destroy any still they found, the cops couldn't bring themselves to destroy his. For one it wad pure copper, so it was a thing a beauty, but also, it was a major throphy, having actually gotton ahold of Jethro Holmes still. So instead they put it on display in the middle of town under armed guard, to show off how awesome they were.
Uncle Jethro had it stolen back the same night and they never found it and never caught who stole it.

But sneezing accelerates the process exponentially, like a bazooka for blood clots and gobs of uterine tissue

And you have proven my point about a comment section being no forum for this topic.

But in regards to this specific case, let me make this clear, in case it hasn't been, the court doesn't think the parents refused to seek help for their sick child of religious grounds. They don't believe the child was sick, at least not enough to be potentially fatel. The court believes they intentionally let that baby waste away, letting her die of starvation and dehydration. So what punishment do you think is justified if that is the case?

Torture is arguably worse than using a weapon, and is usually punished worse. The children are already in other custody, hopefully not like minded. I posted a separate link to an article about their home, it's full of warning signs, both figuratively and literally. Also @guest_ why are you choosing this particular thread to try and tackle the concept of A) prinson system as a whole and B)bthe justice system as a whole? Is it perfect, no, but it is what we have and its far to complex and nuanced a subject to cover in a comment section, especially one with a character limit.

And occasionally you get a very weird horrible sqelch\flop of sluffed tissue

Clots... clots everywhere

Would they rather the parents go into debt spending money they don't have one stuff the kid won't remember or play with in 3 months?

@honeybumblebee unfortunately its already too late on the not reproducing again. She's already pregnant again. As for why jail, thats like asking why we would put someone in jail for drunk driving. Assuming they didn't intentionally withhold nutrients from the child, which, so far, that's the only cause of death we have, malnutrition and dehydration (meaning they starved her to death), they directly caused her death through their gross negligence. There is no indirect. Indirect would be if they keft a pot boilig on the stove, causing a fire in which she died. And it's not about learning a lesson, it's about not letting them hurt anyone else.

Also, I included an article inbthe source that talks about how they tried to get her back in the surf, and after eventually having to admit defeat they were able to harvest over 400 pounds of meat that was donated to a local charity

Half hour, ir even an hour, isn't a long bout, not hy a long shot. They found over a dozen large sting ray spins inside her, including one lodged near her spine. They think one of the reasons she was so easy to bring in was she was already weakened.

That is why we put them in jail for murder.

It wasn't stupidity, they knew the consequences, they chose not to help her. They are religious extremists.

Exactly. This isn't Christianity. The apostle Luke was a doctor himself and ge wrote half the damn New Testament. These people are just radical extremist like any other.

They had the presence of mind to understand the child was sick and getting worse, while still refusing to seek treatment. By admitting he knew he should have gotten help he proved there was no insanity grounds. They chose to watch their child die so they could tout themselves as martyrs. She died of malnutrition and dehydration. Those are two things EASILY preventable, even without direct medical intervention. For that matter, the father wears glasses, despite that being a medical intervention.

No, he goes between our rooms. ALL NIGHT LONG. He's old and apparently feels that means he doesn't have to actually sleep at night.
