Parents prayed over daughter instead of bringing her to a doctor.

Hey, folks. There was an update in the case yesterday. The Marathon County District Attorney has decided to charge Dale and Leilani Neumann with second-degree reckless homicide.

You can read the criminal complaint here (warning: PDF!). It’s pretty horrifying, I find, as it shows that the Neumanns did realize something was very wrong, but still decided against medical care.

I look forward to Madeline’s return to life and good health, as predicted by her parents. I always knew it would happen in Wisconsin.

Well, it’s going to be pretty difficult now that she’s been buried. There’s a shortage of caves with boulders in front of them in this state.

These stupid motherfuckers. The whole situation still makes me incandescently angry.

Ooh, stand above the coffin and she will dig her way up to the light.

Or, if she was hot and her picture got published, these boys will come along to dig her up.

Sorry, I have trouble not being a smart ass over such utter stupidity.

AGH. Those boys are from around where I live. High school boys from Dodgeville have a reputation for legendary stupidity.

Now, as for the stupidity, do you mean the necrophilia or the reckless homicide?

Pick one.
