A Marathon County judge has set bond worth $200,000 for the parents of the 11-year-old Weston girl who died of an untreated diabetic condition because they opted to pray over her instead of seeking medical attention.
Because Dale and Leilani Neumann do not have sufficient liquid assets, a $50,000 property signature bond was also set on one of their two homes.
Preparation of the property is to begin within 10 days.
The Neumanns made their initial court appearance Wednesday morning.
They are charged with second-degree reckless homicide in the death of their daughter, Madeline, on Easter Sunday.
Their three other children have been returned to their home, but Dale and Leilani have been ordered to abide by a child safety plan issued by the Department of Social Services.
The couple is also requesting separate attorneys to represent them - a hearing regarding this motion has been scheduled for May 7.
A preliminary hearing has been set for June 10.
If convicted, the Neumanns could be sentenced to a maximum of 25 years in prison, be fined $100,000, or both.
Dale and Leilani are not allowed to leave the state of Wisconsin.
The judge also issued a gag order, meaning the attorneys cannot talk about the case to the media.
Court records say Madeline likely had some symptoms for several weeks or even months.
The criminal complaint says that as the girl's health faltered in the final days, the parents were convinced that prayer would cure her, but instead she died at their home. An autopsy found the death was from a treatable type of diabetes that left her with too little insulin in her body.

A religious group called Unleavened Bread Ministries defends the Neumanns on its web site, saying state law exempts parents who provide treatment with prayer.
But prosecutors say the death could have been prevented with medical intervention.
