What Does Freedom Of Religion Mean and Where Do We Draw The Line? .

How in the world do this mom and dad  in Oregon sleep at night after refusing help for their 18 month old baby?...believe in the right to choose, but I just don't  see how you can let a child suffer  because of your religious conviction....Now because of their action this baby might go blind...Both parents  have been brought before a court charged with child abuse after they attempted to rely on faith to heal their young child instead of seeking the medical attention properly required.
Timothy Wyland and his wife Rebecca are both followers of an unorthodox Christian sect called “The Followers of Christ”, which rejects modern medicines. The parents refused to take their baby daughter to see a doctor as a tumor grew on her face, preferring to anoint her with oils and lay their hands on her.
The tumor, known as a hemangioma, was left untreated for so long that as Alayna turned six-month-old it had grown to the size of a baseball. The tumor continued to grow to the extent that it threatened baby Alayna’s eyesight, as it started pushing her eyeball out of its socket.Article Here!
