Wis. parents who prayed as daughter died to remain free on bond

By ASSOCIATED PRESS Wednesday, April 30, 2008 - 1:11 p.m.

WAUSAU, Wis. (AP) — A judge has allowed parents accused of reckless homicide in their 11-year-old daughter’s death to stay out of jail on signature and property bonds totaling $450,000.

Dale and Leilani Neumann are charged second-degree reckless homicide in the Easter Sunday death of their daughter, Madeline, at the family’s rural Weston home.

Prosecutors say the parents prayed for their daughter while she got progressively ill from undiagnosed diabetes instead of taking her to a doctor.

The parents made their initial appearance Wednesday in Marathon County Circuit Court with their attorney, Gene Linehan.

Judge Vincent Howard set a preliminary hearing for June 10 and ordered the attorneys involved not to talk about the case.

Sterilize these people so so they don't cause another child to die a slow painful death. Too many nut jobs in this world that have kids.

I'm with you "tjncj". I read that headline at least 6 times before I scrolled to the comments. I kept trying to see if I was just missing a punctuation mark or glossing over a word wrong. Holy Wow!! What poor grammar.

They should have put them (the parents) right into the nut house while they had the chance.
