The Everest Metro Police Chief says three siblings of an 11-year-old Weston girl who died from untreated diabetes have been removed from the home.

The Chief says an agreement was reached between the parents of Madeline Neumann and social services experts that the move would be in the best interests of everyone.

Madeline died sunday at her rural Weston home from an undiagnosed but treatable form of diabetes. Her parents had not taken her to a doctor in years and instead relied on prayer to heal her.

this is crazy that people are defending these parents yes i believe in god but... this was a diabetic girl which ok maybe god made it possible for us to have docters or whatever they should get there kids taken away FOREVER. this would have been cured with a simple shot please pray for these idiots that wait for god to heal even though atleast two poeple came to that house and tried to help did god have to appear in person and say it was ok COME ON PEOPLE WAKE UP, an 11 year old is dead cuz of these stupid ideas about god!

Gosh you know I can't help but think that removing the children from the home at this time has to be just adding insult to their injury. Losing their sister and then being taken from their parents too... Maybe a less harsh compromise could have been to court order the parents to take the children to the pediatrician on a regular basis. It is all so very sad.
