CHILD member tells of becoming deaf after Christian Science parents withheld medical care

On June 14, 2007, a Sacramento radio station interviewed CHILD member C. J. Hyatt.  C. J. was adopted by Christian Science parents and became profoundly deaf at age seven after a series of untreated infections.  C. J. tells of the emotional abuse as well as medical neglect in faith healing.

In April the station aired an interview with a Christian Science practitioner whose paid profession is giving spiritual “treatments,” which the church claims can heal all diseases.  Both programs can be heard by clicking on this link:  http://www.capradio.org/programs/insight/default.aspx?showid=3365&programid=10

The interview with the practitioner is under “Related programs” at the bottom of the screen.
