Did the Texas Supreme Court make the right call in this case?

Excerpt:
“AUSTIN, Texas – The Texas Supreme Court has sided with a family accused of not teaching its children anything while waiting “to be raptured.”
Laura and Michael McIntyre began homeschooling their nine children inside the family’s El Paso motorcycle dealership more than a decade ago.
Officials say the family did not have to teach state-approved curriculum or give standardized tests.
However, problems started when a relative told authorities that he never saw the children reading, working on math, using computers or doing anything educational besides play music.”
Basically, these parents kept their 9 children uneducated because they thought it wouldn’t matter since they were all just waiting around to be raptured.
Should this count as criminally negligent behavior? If you can go to jail because your child is chronically truant, then why should these parents get a free pass?
