A woman was sentenced to probation for starving her son at the behest of a whackaloon cult leader, and part of her sentence includes mandatory Bible Study?

Replacing one cult with another as a corrective measure is a good idea? Who knew!

Ria Ramkissoon, 23, pleaded guilty last year to child abuse resulting in the death of Javon Thompson. She admitted denying food and water to the 16-month-old child when he did not say "Amen" before a meal. Javon wasted away over the course of a week before his heart stopped beating.

Baltimore Circuit Judge Timothy J. Doory suspended the balance of Ramkissoon's 20-year sentence and ordered her to report to a residential treatment facility for young women. The treatment program includes Bible study, and Ramkissoon will be required to complete the program, which doesn't have a specified length, before she can live on her own.

A non-mainstream cult (e is ZOMG EVIL WRONG BAWWWW but the cult of Jesus babblers is perfectly okay because, hey, it's a MAINSTREAM RELIGION, guys! It'a AWWRIGHT!

...and they wonder why we call them theistards.
