A Philadelphia couple have been convicted of manslaughter after their 2 year old baby boy died of bacterial pneumonia.
Two year old Kent Schaible had bacterial pneumonia. He died and his dad Herbert Schaible aged 42 told a DHS worker two days later they never had a child die after praying over them. His mother Catherine Schaible also was convicted of manslaughter.
DHS visited the home and said the rest of the children were kept well and there was no reason to keep a file on the family. Religious beliefs alone are not enough to have DHS intervene a social worker said.
There was alot of debabte as to weather or not antibiotics would have helped little Kent.
