Ugg you stupid selfish, self rightous morons! what the hell if you want to go natural at least breast feed the kid for six months.
My wife, the gift from God that she is, is fighting hard to keep her milk through illness. we have changed our sleep schedule done exercises, added compliments, and changed our diet to help. Its *that* important, if you cant nurse and your cowphobic use soy based formula for lactose intolerant kids. Kids are not meant to drink juice until 6mos of age... read a damn book..
Sorry, I have a 6mo daughter and this hits close to home!
I have an 11 month old granddaughter that lives at home (my daughter is military)so it hits home for me as well.
This is far more than incompetence or stupidity. This was an intentional act on the parents part. The’ve elevated their own Vegan lifestyle to a religion and put it clearly ahead of their childs health.
There isn’t a single Doctor that would recommend their course of feeding for an infant, In fact, had they taken the child to a doctor he would have turned them in for child abuse and the child would be alive today.
Obviously the jury concurred....
Your indignation is well-placed. There was a similar case some years ago in Cleveland, when a couple of einsteins tried to raise their toddler son on the "brown rice diet." He was pulled from the imbecile parents' home with massive malnutrition, but fortunately survived. The parents were convinced that they were the injured party, vicitms of the unenlightened oppressors in charge.
What can one say that's printable. Not much.
