How many autistic kids have to be smothered to death while their parents/friends try to 'cure' them before a judge finally starts throwing the book at somebody. I've probably heard half a dozen of these stories over the past 5-6 years, yet the punishment is never severe. Making an example out of somebody here would do two things - properly punish them for killing a child, and bring national attention to the scam that this ridiculous 'procedure' is.

UPDATE: The boy's death has been officially ruled a homicide. The 8-year-old autistic boy who died during a weekend prayer service suffocated after a church elder sat on his chest, police said Monday. The article also mentions they may have difficulty charging the man with a crime because it was a 'religious healing'.
