Friday Oregon faith
healing parents
Timothy and Rebecca Wyland were sentenced to 90 days in jail and three years
probation for refusing to seek medical treatment for their young daughter,
Alayna.
Alayna was born with a growth on her eye
that ended up taking over one side of her face. The Wylands refused to seek
medical attention for their daughter. As a result, the Wyland's were found
guilty of first degree criminal mistreatment of a child June 7.
The Wylands belong
to the controversial Followers of Christ Church located in Oregon City
Alayna had an
abnormal and deforming buildup of blood vessels in her left eye. The buildup,
known as a hemangioma, would have left Alayna blind in the left eye if not
treated. While the Wyland's daughter is now doing much better, a doctor
testified during the trial that even with surgery the girl will probably have
less than a 30 percent chance of regaining full vision in her left eye.
Even though the
Wylands prayed over Alayna, anointed her with oil and used other spiritual
rituals endorsed by their church, they failed to seek medical attention for
their daughter's obvious ailment. From January to June of 2010 the couple did
nothing while their daughter's condition deteriorated.
Comply with all medical recommendations of the doctors treating Alayna;
Notify the probation department of all scheduled medical appointments for Alayna and prove they attended the appointments;
Inform probation officers of any significant injury suffered by any child in their care.
The Wylands are
the third Followers of Christ Church couple to be prosecuted over the past two
years for failing to provide medical treatment to their children. In two
previous cases, the children died.

Earlier this year the Oregon state Senate voted to end legal protection granted to parents practicing
religious faith healing. The legislation ends legal protection for parents who
choose faith healing to the exclusion of modern medicine in treating their
children's health.
What do you think,
is 90 days justice for Alayna?

FANGS RULE
A self help guide by Amy Mah (Vampire) for teenage vampire girls, the guide is fully illustrated by manga Artist Heby and is written in an easy to follow A - Z format explaining everything a teenage vampire girl would need to know about living life as a modern Vampire. What is fashionable to wear when eating out? Fang maintenance & how to keep your claws sharp. Should you let a boy bite you on the first date? Easy to understand clear advice is given to every day problems Example: When you get an urge to bite: We all get those normal urges to bite things, and I must point out it is very normal, Claws are all well and good in a fight but a bite gives the extra advantage of getting a refreshing drink at the same time. Lots of girls worry about showing their Fangs in public believing that to show your fangs is rude, but don't be shy they can be a girls greatest asset (ok second greatest asset) if a boy is being rude to you, don't just snarl at him, just bite him! You are a vampire why do you think you have sharp teeth if not for sinking them into a boy that is being rude to you.
VAMPIRE
Today's world is difficult for everyone, especially teenagers. They face the stresses of school, deciding whom to date, and the biggie of sex, just to name a few. Imagine all of those things ten times worse, and you might get an idea of what it's like being a living, breathing teenage vampire. At last, the world can read about the life of a girl with good teeth, her problems with strong sunlight that gave her spots, and the sunblock that made her hair go yucky and produced more spots. Yes, sunlight was dangerous, as she could be the first teenager in history to die from terminal acne! In her everyday life, older vampires expected her to walk about at night in the traditional female uniform, a see-through, 18th-century nightdress, without undies! Well, this female vampire knew why the cold winds blowing along the corridors were called, "male winds," so she wore her see-through nightdress over jeans and a very thick jumper. To be sure that people would still know she was a vampire, the jumper had a very large, pink bat on it. And as to guys, well, it was normal for a girl to dream about guys; she just wished the dreams could have involved chocolates and holding hands, not leaping out at someone, ripping off his shirt, and demanding to know what blood type he was (at least not on the first date).
