      Mormons believe that their children are pre-selected in the pre-earth life, so the children chose to come to that family in their theology.

      I have to agree here. Those bairns didn’t ask to run the risk of lifelong complications like blindness, deafness, brain damage, loss of motor control of a body part, lung damage, immune system damage and a whole slew of others I needn’t list to labour a point.

      The parents should be no longer so, but condemning those kids to yet more abuse at the hands of the system strikes me as nothing short of sadistic.
