We wouldn't be willing to drop them off at a Buddhist temple. If the CW insisted on something like that they'd have to find another home to do it, because it would be violating our faith and I would consider it to be child abuse, personally. These kids have already been raised to believe that their Buddhist grandfather is some sort of magical faith healer. If he spits in their water they believe they will be healed. That's why the 13 year old almost died of a ruptured appendix last year because her family wouldn't take her for medical care.

I just thought I would clarify that the fact that they have raised the children to believe that their grandfather is a magical faith healer has nothing to do with Buddhist philosophy. Sounds like other strange ideas people have about things in the name of religion.
