A second child--one of a relative--was starved to death by other members of the sect. Both babies were buried in Acadia National Park, I do believe. Members of this sect were jailed for a substantial length of time until they told the authorities where the babies were buried. It wasn't until they got lawyers (they had been refusing counsel) that they told the authorities where they put the children.
Four of their children are in foster care. The woman was visibly pregnant, but now she's claiming she miscarried, but nothing else. I'd like to know what happened to this baby.
Hmmm, that doesn't seem like a religious prohibition against advanced medicine, unless the child was on a feeding tube. In which case, what's the problem? The poor folks who have to pay the medical bills have the right to remove a feeding tube so that a patient starves to death. It was just recently decided (but I can't remember the case). In fact, someone else was offering to become the patient's guardian so the husband wouldn't have to pay to keep her alive, but the husband had the tube removed anyway.
Can I presume this baby wasn't starved to death in connection with any medical issues?

Aha-HA! There's something to get them on. Environmental pollution. I can see where the state would step in on that. Killing your kids isn't a big deal. Starving relatives who can't feed themselves isn't a big deal. But messing up the grass in a national park - that's a big deal. Maybe that's the whole key.
Shalom.
