Doesn't feed trolls and would appreciate it if you
Is there an actual name for that, 'prayer care'?
Wis. court upholds convictions of parents who prayed for dying girl instead of going to doctor

Madeline Neumann, 11, died in 2008 from undiagnosed diabetes at her home in Weston, Wisconsin. Her parents, Dale and Leilani Neumann, were convicted in separate trials of second-degree reckless homicide.

It's a story we've all heard before, and fortunately it doesn't happen often. I've never heard of such a sentencing though:
They each faced up to 25 years in prison, but a judge instead ordered them to each serve a month in jail every year for six years, with one parent serving every March and the other every September.
