An inquest heard that doctors recommended an involuntary mental health assessment for Kerrie Struhs because she believed God would cure her daughter’s type 1 diabetes. Child safety officials returned eight-year-old Elizabeth home in 2019 despite doctors’ objections. She died in 2022 after her father stopped giving her insulin.
