The parents do it, because they think he'll go to heaven and have a good afterlife. It's the same as those ....what do you call them, those people in the US that don't use technology (except for 16th century technology because that's somehow more acceptable to Jesus than 21st century technology)
But anyway, yeah it's like those people who don't let Doctors treat their kids so they die and they don't care because they just keep on thinking it's all ok the kid is going to heaven, it's fucked up to our morals and values but that's how their religions are. When people deeply believe in that shit they can and will do anything.
We're sitting here thinking "that's fucked up how can they do that" but they're thinking "this kid is going to have it all in the afterlife, he is doing a great cause"
Two sides of a coin...
