They should be put on trial for torture and murder. Furthermore, the church that promoted this behavior should be treated as a criminal organization running cons for money that result in murder and torture.
I also wonder how this has effected the faith of the parents. What must they be asking themselves and what do their prayers look like now? If there's no remorse for their actions, these people should be tried as first degree pre-meditated murder and the death penalty should apply. If they have remorse and where truly duped, then the 2nd degree murder statue applies (reckless disregard for human life resulting in the death of an individual).
I imagine that the 2nd degree statue applies better and at least, all people in the advisory chain up into the church should be treated to manslaughter charges. It's just like a pharmaceutical company that intentionally makes a drug that will KILL 8/10 cancer patients but cure 2/10 (i.e. the spontaneous remission rate of many cancers).
