“God does not make mistakes,” - this is how Rachel Joy Piland, 30, and Joshua Barry Piland, 36, religious parents in Lansing, Michigan, motivated their decision. Writes about it Mirror.
Mother and father refused to treat the newborn daughter Abigail, explaining her congenital disease by the will of higher powers. The girl was born with pathological jaundice of newborns. As a rule, excess bilirubin production in infants does not pose a serious danger, but in some cases requires urgent medical attention.
It became known that the child was born at the home of Pilands; a midwife and two assistants helped in childbirth. They verbally concluded that the child is healthy. But when the midwife returned the next day, the baby was completely yellow. She warned parents that the girl should be hospitalized as soon as possible. But the mother refused, motivating the will of the Most High. A day later, the child was already coughing blood and could not eat.
The mother put the baby near the window in one diaper, warming her with a hairdryer, police say. The child's grandmother insisted on the hospital, but never convinced her daughter. After three days, the child stopped breathing. The police found the body of a baby and three adults praying next to him.
Parents are threatened with 15 years in prison. The girl's mother continues to publish fan-religious messages on her Facebook.
