Raina, here is what my assistant found regarding your question and Kansas law: “A parent legitimately practicing religious beliefs who does not provide specified medical treatment for a child because of religious beliefs shall not for that reason be considered a negligent parent.”

This Kansas statute further underscores that unfortunately, when it comes to Abby’s treatment and because of the Illumination Church’s recognized presence, the law is on your parents’ side. It states:

Kansas Criminal Statute: Kansas defense to misdemeanor child endangerment. Nothing under the definition of “child endangerment” . . . shall be construed to mean a child is endangered for the sole reason his/her guardian, in good faith, selects and depends upon spiritual means through prayer, in accordance with the tenets and practice of a recognized church or religious denomination for the treatment or cure of disease or remedial care of such child. Kansas Statutes §21-3608(1) (c)

Should we come across something that counters this position, I’ll let you know. The phone is little consolation, but I hope it helps. I’m praying for you. V.
