Yeah, if I were a bit more hard-hearted, I'd say give them the freedom to let their kids die. It's just Darwinism at work. If they're stupid enough to not visit a doctor when they're deathly ill, then that helps out the gene pool. The more of them that die off, the better.
But, these are children who don't know any better and have been brainwashed by their parents into believing that all illnesses can be cured by prayer. They don't understand why they don't get better.
It's kind of like seat belt laws. I don't care if adults don't want to wear them, and think that laws making it mandatory should be repealed. However, for minor children I think the laws should be mandatory since they often don't know any better.

Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
