So sad


luvmykids wrote: Vegan parents sentenced to life

I have no problem with vegans/vegetarians but I can't help but think they weren't all that educated in that lifestyle with an outcome like this sad.gif

I agree. There had to have been a healthier way for them to do things.

It's just sad. bawling.gif

stella6979 replied: I'm sorry, but even my 5 year old nephew knows that you need to eat in order to survive. These people knew what they were doing and I'm so glad they received the sentence they did. I don't have a problem with people who choose to be vegans, but c'mon, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that someone (especially a baby) can't survive on small servings of soy milk and apple juice. And why didn't they get him any treatment prior to his death? I mean, he weighed 3 friggin pounds and for them to just ignore it and then try to talk their way out of it is just absurd. mad.gif
I can't imagine what that poor baby went through.

luvmykids replied:
ITA, for the dad to say he didn't know anything was wrong until right before he died is ludicrous growl.gif

Twelve Volt Man replied: Sickening. Surely, if they had taken their 6 week-old baby to the doctor for a regular check-up, the doctor would have told them there was a problem. That leads me to believe that the child wasn't even getting routine medical care. That, coupled with his malnourished state and body weight, indicate intentional mistreatment and indifference to their child's health. For that, I hope they live out their lives in prison.

luvbug00 replied: honestly i wanna know why she didn' breast feed? or is that comming from an animal? if you count humans as animals? (I am all for people chosing formula or breast milk but in this case and they want to be all natural and all that jazz made me wonder)

I wondered that also

I am sorry but there no claiming stupidity here...the should be forced to live they way they treated the son and let them die the slow painful death.

3lbs....how could you not know something was wrong...

stella6979 replied: I read a little about the case on courttv.com and although they were feeding him, they were only feeding him very small amounts. Something like 5oz's a day.
And of course, now the parents are complaining about the food they're receiving in prison. Give me a break!!! mad.gif

luvmykids replied:
Hey, theres an idea....make them eat meat for the rest of their lives too, the really nasty stuff that even meat eaters don't want....Vienna sausages and potted ham.

BAC'sMom replied: That's crazy huh.gif

I would think their first clue would have been that theie son was slowly dying right before their very eyes. I mean come on 3 lbs ? Gimme me a freaking break! growl.gif

coasterqueen replied: This story leaves me with tons of questions and puzzlement. How could you NOT see your child losing that much weight. I'm assuming the baby was at least 5 pounds at birth if not a lot more. Even a 5 pound baby I think you'd see a baby losing 2 pounds! I freak out every day at how Megan looks too skinny - I just can't see a parent not seeing this. Vegan/not vegan has nothing to do with it, or at least the story leaves out a lot of info for me to make it apart of it. This is just absolutely horrible. And to say he's dying in there, that an appeal could take years - well um he should have thought about that when the baby was wasting away. Babies scream/cry when they are hungry and not being fed - this baby HAD to have done that. Unless the baby was ill at birth and it's not being said in the story - otherwise I just can't see it. I can't fathom it. Were these parents young? Not that that should have anything to do with it, but maybe they were GROSSLY uneducated? dunno.gif This is just terrible. My heart aches. sleep.gif

moped replied: Sickening!

I honestly am speechless

These were my thoughts exactly!
