Faith Over Medicine
An Oregon teenager is dead. His parents now face 16 months in prison. Not for what they did, but for what they didn\'t do.
CNN\'s Dan Simon has this story for you tonight on 360°. Marci and Jeff Beagley were convicted of negligent homicide. They admitted they denied their 16-year-old son the drugs he needed. Prosecutors say the drugs would have cured the son\'s kidney illness.
As Dan Simon will tell you, their son didn\'t get the drugs because the family belongs to a Christian church near Portland that believes seeing a doctor is a sign of weakness. Instead, members rely solely on faith healing found in the New Testament - believing that God will cure them of their ills.
Tonight you\'ll meet a former member of the secretive sect. She shares what she witnessed and why she left.
