Kind of interesting case.

1. The punishment is way over the top for the crime. If it was punishment for something that was actually bad, like knocking over a convenience store, would it make it more ok?

2. I don't think it was the excercise that killed her. My kids have basically run for hours on end for fun with no issues. I guess they probably took a few little breaks here and there. It was the not giving her water that did her in. If the parents were just too stupid to realize she needed fluid, then they should be probably charged with whatever neglect charge some other parent who didn't properly hydrate their kid while they excercised. If the kid was begging for water, and they didn't give her any as part of the punishment, then definitely is murder, I'd say.
