A 40-year-old Amish woman, Ruth Miller, is charged with aggravated murder after allegedly throwing her 4-year-old son into a lake. She claimed God instructed her to do so, believing she was testing her faith. Her husband also died in a similar alleged faith-testing incident. The woman's other children were also involved but survived. Authorities stated she's receiving mental health treatment. The family's church released a statement saying the actions don't reflect their beliefs, attributing them to mental illness.
