How a seemingly respectable couple starved their toddler on a vegan diet

Quote:

The foster carer who took charge of a severely malnourished toddler fed an extreme vegan diet was appalled when she first saw the child in hospital. 'When I first met [the child] she was nearly two years old and looked like a three-month-old baby,' the mother-of-five told a court. 'She weighed 4.89kg and had no teeth. My own babies weighed over 4kg when they were born. 'She was lying in her hospital bed with tubes covering her tiny body. She was being fed by a tube through her nose. 'I remember thinking how terrifying this must be for such a small child.' ... Her parents, who fed the girl a meagre vegan diet and did not have her immunised, have admitted failing to provide the child with the necessities of life and face a maximum five years in jail.

This is one of those cases where I hope the accused get the maximum number of years in jail.
