    An Oregon City couple who belong to the Followers of Christ church have been indicted on charges of second-degree manslaughter in the death of their child who died last year shortly after birth.

    It is the third time in the past two years that church members, who reject medical care and favor faith-healing, have been indicted in the death of a child.

    Dale R. Hickman and Shannon M. Hickman, both 25, were booked and released early Friday morning at the Clackamas County Jail. They will be arraigned on Aug. 30.

    The Hickmans' son was born on Sept. 27 but lived only nine hours. The boy was died of staph pneumonia and complications from a premature birth, a state medical examiner said. The child was born at 32 to 34 weeks – four to six weeks short of full term – and had underdeveloped lungs.

    The autopsy noted the presence of a bacterial infection, which could have caused the amniotic sac to rupture, or the water to break, as it's commonly called.

    No one with medical training attended the birth, and no one called a doctor or ambulance.

    Greg Horner, Clackamas County chief deputy district attorney, declined to comment on the indictment.
    These people are WACK! They have allowed so many children to die in the last 30 years it's UNBEAVABLE!

    God is about true love and mercy.

    These parents were not true followers of Christ.

    May the poor child rest in peace.

    I vehemently denounce this type of doctrine among certain (but few) churches...

    that said, you should probably be denouncing all those parents that consume narcotics, smoke, or drink alcoholic beverages while pregnant with the same sort zeal... those mommas that fight in Burger King parking lots... those that leave them inside of locked vehicles on a typical summer day, or those that are simply too lazy to properly raise their children...

    It's hard being religious with so many re ed Jesus followers out there.
