Should the state have taken the child from the parents for medical care? I think not.
These parents are idiots, but what punishment can be justified?

The state—or even concerned friends and neighbors—ought to stand in loco parentis if the parents are non compos mentis (which these parents appear to be). If not, who will save the child?
And the idea that the remaining children in the home are not in danger is ludicrous.
“but what punishment can be justified?”
I believe they still send people to prison for child neglect leading to that childs’ death.
