    I thought it was clear enough

    I suppose the title could have been clearer but I don't think it implied the jail was for the praying but for the death. They could have made it clearer by getting straight to the point:
    "parents jailed for neglect of their child leading to daughters death"
    Because that's what this really is. They've neglected their child. I've seen a number of these cases lately, though most the government has stepped in to save the kid from their crazy parents before they die.

    To those who consider this a matter of religious freedom , would you be allowed to use prayer instead of food for the child? How far can you take that?

      Thanks

      Good update on the title. That's really the only thing with which I took issue.

      And to answer your question, you can give a child prayer instead of food for about a week. If you're also using prayer instead of water , about 3 days. :)
