9-year old girl hearing voices of the Devil.

RE: 9-year old girl hearing voices of the Devil.
In posting this thread, I did not think that I would be taking some much heat (or, for that matter, any blowback) for having not called "child protective services".  And, so, I decided to look up what the Law says for my US state (Iowa):

http://dhs.iowa.gov/child-abuse/what-is-child-abuse

In Iowa, the agency is called DHS as opposed to CPS, but for those of you who do not want to click the above link, here's the summary off the web page:

And, so, the only category that seems to fit this situation would be "denial of critical care," and for that to be child abuse, the fundie parents would have to be denying their daughter medical and/or psychiatric care, and I have no idea whatsoever if that is the case or not.  And, so, I doubt that DHS is even going to consider my report.  The fact that the girl's parents are fundamentalist Christian loons does not meet the definition of child abuse, not yet at least.
