If you let him starve to death because of it, yes. Being the parent of a child does not give you carte blanche to treat that child however you want, religion or no. The Bible says to stone your children to death if they dishonor you, but I doubt you'd get much support if you did that. Not in this country, anyway.
What being a parent
does do is place the responsibility for your child's health on your head.
Your head, not your god's head.
Those parents will be free to refuse medical treatments for
themselves in prison.
