Fuck’s sake, that’s grim.
Tragic story with an extra dose of crazy compared to the usual doesn't believe in medicine:

When investigators asked why she did not take the baby to a medical facility, she said that she and her husband do not believe in modern medicine and live an unconventional life where they do not acknowledge time frames or the days of the week, the complaint says. >

Don't forget this is the second baby they have let die.  There was another one that they buried in the backyard of their old house. >

Wait what?!? >

So they've killed 66% of their children. Not cool. >

These people should not be raising children.  If they’re not willing to be the best advocate for these kids and do everything they can, I’m sorry but they should not be parents.  This is basically murder due to intentional negligence. >

I'm sure they also don't believe in abortion or birth control >

They've already said they don't believe in medicine. >

"Amy Hoenigke tried to use peppermint and "steam teas" to treat her son and used a plastic straw to try and clear his nasal passage."
She did that to her own newborn. >

neither alone are completely absurd ideas (nasal suction and warm humid air), but context and detail matter enormously.  This isn't just a baby with a bit of a cold, it's a neonate in respiratory distress and they didn't do anything normal about the obvious signs of medical distress, nor about the child's demise as the infant was found to have been deceased for a few days and they were planning to bury the body without notifying anyone, but couldn't because the ground is frozen.
