What do the Stanley's consider to be "appropriate" consequences/punishment/guidance for the children for lying? What level of severity is needed to correct the child(ren) for "lying" to your "parents"? Would that be 2 infractions? How severe must the "beating" be for each child? Would the 4 y/o receive the same treatment as the 16 y/o? If severity of the beating is solely done "out of love" to "save them from hell" then I would suspect a big event would have to happen - after all, we are talking about eternity here.
IIRC the woman that drown her 5 children was trying to save them from evil and send them to heaven (Andrea Yates?) during a psychotic break. I have some level of empathy for her - she was not able to decipher right from wrong at that moment. Many people mourned that they had not done more to intervene on behalf of the children before it was too late.
The Stanley's will have their day in court.
ETA: I believe the parents are a flight risk if the children are returned before the parents make some significant changes in their mindset and their behaviors.
