Herbert and Catherine Schaible\\xa0have been on probation for the last two years for relying on prayer rather than medical care, resulting in the death of their young son from\\xa0pneumonia in 2009.

Amazingly, the worst these callous nutjobs could get is 10 years in prison.

Finally, the Baseball Bat of Doubt swings into action once again.
