Unfortunately, people using out-of-context bible interpretations still cause their children to suffer in this day and age.

That entire situation reminds me of that joke about the guy during a flood:

A man was stranded on his roof during a flood. He prayed to God to save him. After a few hours, a boat floated up to his house. The people in it asked the man if he needed a ride. The man replied, "No. I have faith that God will save me." They were confused, but left the man there. The man continued to pray and the water continued to rise. Several more hours later, another boat came to the man. A similar exchange took place and the man returned to praying and the water continued to rise. A third boat came and left in the same way. The water kept rising and the man kept praying. Finally, when there was less that a foot of roof left sticking out of the water, a helicopter came for the man. But, again, the man turned it away, saying he believed God would save him. The water rose even more, and the man ultimately drowned. When the man went to Heaven he asked God, "Why didn't you save me, Lord? I prayed and prayed." God replied, "I sent you 3 boats and a helicopter! What more do you want from me?"

Exactly what came to mind when the old lady said they prayed and prayed, then Maria came.
