The parents of an 11-year old girl with diabetes let her die because they believe that faith in the will of God forbids doctors or any kind of medical care. Relatives called authorities after they learned the girl was in a coma, but help came too late to save her life.

The family does not belong to an organized religion or faith, [mother] Leilani Neumann said.

“We just believe in the Bible, that’s all,” she said. “This is our faith.”

Her husband added that, “We believe the word of God and live according to its precepts.”

Leilani Neumann said the family is not worried about a police investigation into her daughter’s death because “our lives are in God’s hands. We know we did not do anything criminal. We know we did the best for our daughter we knew how to do.”

Mrs. Neumann said she deeply loves all her children and has nurtured them spiritually, emotionally and physically.

“Our lives are in God’s hands and whatever we go through we are just going to trust him,” she said. “We need healing. We are going through the healing process.”

Hopefully they will also be going through the criminal justice process, after which they will be going through the prison process. If there is a Hell, a special circle should be set aside for parents who kill their innocent children.
