They do have other children, and these kids have been taken away from them. Currently, the DA is trying to decide what charge to bring.

I think they should be charged with negligent homicide (Wisconsin doesn't have a manslaughter charge) and child neglect.

I can't understand these parents. It sounds like the girl suffered for a month before she died. He's a former police officer, so it is likely he received instruction on diabetic emergencies such as DKA. Regardless, the girl had to have been really sick. How can parents do that?
