The Wausau area parents charged with second-degree reckless homicide for praying as their 11-year-old daughter died of diabetes are the first in Wisconsin accused of such a crime.
Child Incorporated, a national group that monitors faith based neglect, says more than 300 children have died in the United States in the past 25 years after medical care was withheld on religious grounds.
The group has documented 65 similar cases in 20 states. Almost 50 of those cases resulted in convictions. Four are pending right now.
Dale and Leilani Neumann, of Weston are due back in court June 10th.
