In 2010 they were convicted of involuntary manslaughter over the death of their two-year-old son Kent from pneumonia, and sentenced to 10 years' probation.
The couple had prayed over Kent and called a funeral director when he died.
At the time, prosecutors said the boy could have been saved with basic medical care - possibly even over-the-counter medication. Defence lawyers said their clients did not know how sick the child really was and that their beliefs had no impact on their care.
Brandon died last week after he suffered diarrhoea and breathing problems for days.
The Schaibles, who have seven other children, have not been charged pending an autopsy to ascertain the cause of death.
But a judge has ruled that the couple violated a condition of their probation requiring them to seek medical care for their children.
"I am sorry for your loss. Deeply sorry," Judge Benjamin Lerner told the couple.
"But in all honesty, I am more sorry for the fact that this innocent little child will not be able to grow up to be what he wanted to be."
The Schaibles were required to arrange medical examinations for each of their children, to immediately consult with a doctor when a child became sick and to follow the doctor's treatment recommendations.
