Faith healing vs Medicine
No matter what the parents believe... a 2 year old will not be able to decide whether he can or can not follow his parents' beliefs. It is a parents duty to provide for basic life sustaining needs. Having diarrhea, fevers, productive cough, and at the end, inability to eat should have alarmed the parents enough to seek medical attention. No matter what their religious beliefs and ideas about medicine for healing, they should have known that inability to eat and diarrhea are not life-sustaining so that as parents they should have known to seek help than prayer. Prayer is not going to make your 2yo eat or stop having diarrhea.
The boy died in PAIN... This is terrible...
Faith-healing parents charged in death of infant son
On the last day of Kent Schaible's life, his parents and pastor intensely prayed over his 32-pound body, which, unbeknown to them, was ravaged by bacterial pneumonia.
When the 2-year-old boy finally died at 9:30 p.m. Jan. 24 inside the family's Northeast Philadelphia home, the pastor called a funeral director to take the boy's remains to the Philadelphia Medical Examiner's Office.
At no time that day, nor in the week-and-a-half prior, did Herbert and Catherine Schaible seek medical treatment for their son despite his sore throat, congestion, liquid bowel movements, sleeplessness and trouble swallowing, Assistant District Attorney Joanne Pescatore said in court yesterday.
"All it would have taken is a simple visit to a doctor for antibiotics or Tylenol, maybe, to keep this child alive," she said during the couple's preliminary hearing.
After the two attorneys representing the Schaibles argued for their innocence, Municipal Judge Patrick Dugan held them for trial on charges of involuntary manslaughter, conspiracy to commit involuntary manslaughter and endangering the welfare of a child.
"When you look at this case, it's obvious that what you have are loving parents who also appear to be misguided," Dugan told the couple. "Your child needed medical care. As parents, that's what your duty is, and that's why you are here in court today."
The Schaibles' case is similar to a growing number around the country in which parents are slapped with criminal charges for turning to religion rather than medical care for sick children who later die.
Herbert Schaible, 41, and Catherine Schaible, 40, of Rhawn Street near Bustleton Avenue, are free on bail and will be arraigned on Oct. 28.
They are members of the First Century Gospel Church, in the Northeast, which believes that the sick can be healed through prayer rather than by medicine, according to statements that the couple gave homicide detectives two days after their son's death.
" 'We prayed to God for victory . . . We were praying that he would be raised up, " Detective Stephen Buckley said yesterday, reading from Herbert Schaible's statement.
Herbert Schaible is a teacher at First Century Gospel Church, said his attorney, Bobby Hoof.
"They believe in faith-healing; that's fine for them," Pescatore said after the hearing. "But this was a two-year-old child."
On Jan. 13 or 14, Kent started showing symptoms of illness that at times improved but generally grew worse until his death on Jan. 24, his parents said in their statements.
" 'He was moody and demanding; you couldn't please him,' " Det. Buckley said, quoting from Catherine Schaible's statement.
Edwin Lieberman, the assistant medical examiner who did Kent's autopsy, said that he had determined the manner of death to be a homicide because the boy could have been saved with basic medical care.
Bacterial pneumonia "is very treatable," he said, but without care he "seriously" doubted if Kent improved at all, as his parents had told detectives.
Francis Carmen, Catherine Schaible's attorney, said that the couple's decision to forgo medical attention was not due to their religion, but because they thought Kent had a cold.
"The commonwealth wants to use [the Schaible's] religious beliefs as a self-fulfilling prophecy that, somehow, because they are different and because they exercise religious beliefs that are not necessarily in line with the majority of us," he said, "that is the cause of them failing to recognize that this child was as ill as he was."
Hoof, on behalf of Herbert Schaible, said that his client did everything in his power to care for his son in the days before he died - feeding him and giving him liquids.
"He cared for his child and thought his child was getting better," Hoof told reporters.
When asked why he did not call a doctor, he said: "He never said that he would not take the child to a doctor in his statement. He never said that."

Shame on the United States
Honor China, Not Its Communism
On Tuesday September 29, 2009, 6:44 pm EDT
Public Relations: The Empire State Building this week will illuminate red and yellow, celebrating China's 60 years of communist rule. There are many things to appreciate about China, but communism isn't one of them.
Public Relations: The Empire State Building this week will illuminate red and yellow, celebrating China's 60 years of communist rule. There are many things to appreciate about China, but communism isn't one of them.
What was the Empire State Building thinking in lighting up in celebration of China's long communist rule?
Amid all the charming reasons the classical 102-story skyscraper colors the Gotham sky at night
-- the 70th anniversary of "The Wizard of Oz," El Museo del Barrio's reopening, Columbus Day and Gabrielle's Angel Foundation, according to its Web site -- China stands as a negative outlier.
Cynics call it recognition that the Chinese, who buy U.S. debt, now own us. But this looks more like a thoughtless confusion of China with its communist government, in perhaps the same impulse that prompts some to set up kitschy eateries bearing photos of Mao.

Recognizing China's regime with bright lights does New York's most visible landmark no honor at all.
China's 6,000-year-old history and civilization are loaded with things to celebrate -- from its invention of paper money and fireworks, to its great cuisines, its Taoist philosophy, the daring historic voyages of Sanbao (a possible model for Sinbad), millions of Overseas Chinese, and perhaps the awed arrival of Marco Polo into the Middle Kingdom, which ignited the Age of Exploration.
Much of the story of civilization is rooted in the West's longing to connect with China -- and this is not a finished story. In 1989, China saw brave young people stand up to tanks in the name of liberty at Tiananmen Square, an event surely worthy of the Empire State Building's honor as a beacon of freedom.
So it's discordant and jarring to see the tyranny that's plagued China for 60 years now the object of the skyscraper's approbation.
"Would the Empire State Building honor the government of Sudan or the birth of Nazi Germany?" asked Thor Halvorssen, whose Human Rights Foundation has an office in this building. "It's sad that a symbol of free enterprise honors the butchers of Beijing."
Communism is the root of the honor and nothing has harmed China so much. The nightmare began with Mao Zedong in 1949. He imported the alien ideology that is still around, diluted only because the authorities made such an economic hash of the country. By Mao's 1976 death, his successors had no choice but to open up.

Before that, the communist regime was responsible for wars, purges and famine on a scale untold in human civilization. According to University of Hawaii historian R.J. Rummel, the communist regime is responsible for the deaths of nearly 77 million people.
"... this equation of power is not limited to democide (murder by government). ... Power also breeds violence and war and all their associated killing. War, revolution and democide are as natural to power as the lust for power is to our species," Rummel wrote.
The writings of Nien Cheng and Harry Wu, in the telling of their personal stories, describe just how cruel the Chinese regime has been to millions of innocents.

"So much for the statistics," Rummel adds. "These numbers alone do not measure the pain and suffering involved. For each person murdered, there remain grieving relatives and possibly broken homes and children. How many more died as a consequence is itself unknown and unestimated here. Then many of those killed did not die easy; often it was by inches, under torture, through starvation, overwork and exposure, or from painful wounds. These statistics only reflect in small measure the monstrous human misery."
The suffering in China isn't confined to the past. Xinjiang's Rebiya Kadeer and Tibet's Dalai Lama continue to speak out about the depredations of the communism that has never stopped persecuting its ethnic minorities who challenge its rule. And with an unrepentant regime, which still enslaves 8 million in its prison camps called Laogai, this will be the reality of China until it faces the errors of the past.
The Empire State Building's managers who mainstreamed this lighting display ought to have known this.
They run a great American symbol of freedom and enterprise, dear to the hearts of Americans because it still stands after 9/11.
To use the building as a lighted billboard to congratulate a regime whose cruelty is a matter of record ought to be protested.
China's long history is well worth honoring from the Empire State Building. But it's China's enterprising and freedom-loving people who deserve the honor, not its oppressive communist regime.

The symbol of the Olympic Games is composed of five interlocking rings, colored blue, yellow, black, green, and red on a white field. This was originally designed in 1912 by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Games. Upon its initial introduction, de Coubertin stated the following in the August, 1912 edition of Revue Olympique:
- The emblem chosen to illustrate and represent the world Congress of 1914...: five intertwined rings in different colors - blue, yellow, black, green, red - are placed on the white field of the paper. These five rings represent the five parts of the world which now are won over to Olympism and willing to accept healthy competition.
These five parts are generally taken to mean the Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa and Oceania.
