The Spiritual Healing "Defense" in Criminal Prosecutions for Crimes against Children.
Bullis, Ronald K.
Child Welfare, v70 n5 p541-55 Sep-Oct 1991
Reviews state statutes that were used as a defense in cases in which seriously ill children were treated exclusively by spiritual healing practices. Such cases involve questions concerning the constitution, and the rights of parents, children, and the state. There is a trend toward legislative restrictions of the use of spiritual healing as a legal defense. (GLR)
