September 7, 2004 -- The self-described "radical environmentalist" being sought by police for snatching his 14-month-old son from the boy's grandparents has threatened to end his life and his toddler's if he's taken into custody, his terrified mother-in-law told The Post. A sobbing Zoya Watterson of Brooklyn said yesterday that her son-in-law, Raphael Spindell, 34, "called screaming, and he said if he's arrested, 'I'll kill myself and I'll kill the baby.' "She said her daughter, Alexandra Spindell, 21, got on the phone and told her, "He's only talking, he won't do it."
The anxious grandmother said the threat was made in a phone call Sunday night — the day after Spindell, a fanatic vegan, barged into her Coney Island apartment and yanked her grandson, Andre, from her arms — furious that she wasn't keeping him on a strict vegan diet.
Watterson, 54, had won temporary custody of Andre on Friday in a dispute over the toddler's health, according to police.
She is now worried about the boy, who was hospitalized and diagnosed as anemic earlier this summer after becoming very ill — with doctors blaming his vegan diet.

God, protect this child. Help us to help You; let us listen for Your prompting. In Jesus name...
By all means, kill yourself, but please let the baby live.
One more crackpot from the insane left showing the rest of America why we want no part of their lunacy. As for the child, too many have died in the past few days at the hands of other insane extremists. We don't need to add to that body count.
That sounds like a good plan. Please, get to step one immediately.
Vegans are a good place to start looking for potential domestic terrorists. Natural food stores are a good place to find vegans.
I bet over half of the vegans in this country have that faulty mental switch that can let them justify killing humans while feeling bad about killing animals.
Okay, so I don't like most vegans because they are liberal, brainwashed, and usually don't have a clue what they're talking about when it comes to science, politics, or the economy... That isn't my fault. I have the right to dislike ignorant activists, and enough of them are vegan to make dietary profiling a reality in the future. ;-)

Yeah, I read about this yesterday. He comes from a rich family this guy. Once again, trust fund kids and their lovely hobbies. "Radical enviormentalist" Translation: Spoiled brat who wants attention. I live in NYC and I must say it was quite something to watch them pile out of limos dressed like paupers to protest the Repub convention, or see 19 year olds wearing backpacks with emblems of every country they visited as they always seem to have enough cash to tour the globe, or watch them rappel from the Plaza, one of the most expensive Hotels in NYC while everyone else had trouble getting to work because of these scum mutts.
If God didn't want us to eat animals, He wouldn't have made them out of MEAT!
"One more crackpot from the insane left"
Your langauge only implies that there are also crackpots on the "insanse right" - which there are.
I pretty much think that crackpots are crackpots and the polticially ideology they choose to pervert is just happenstance.
This is not a political issue, it is a lunatic issue. It is only when they let the lunatics into politics that it becomes political. Madman they name is Kerry.
"God and eating animals"
I sooooooooo, totally agree!!!!!
At least he won't eat the baby.
Oh, man... Lenny Bruce lives!
Take a large Genoa salami and beat him about the head and shoulders while shouting "Respect my athoritay." (I don't know what good this will do but it just seems right.)
Right on! That's what my daughter always says.
He would have made them all smell and taste like skunks or something.
Meat plus fire equals delicious steak dinner!
your "logic" is flawed.... just because you give evil a name, doesn't make you evil too. It's like saying that religion is incidental because there are bad people in every religion. Sure there are bad Christians, that doesn't negate the evil of Islam as a whole. Sure there are bad right wingers, but that doesn't negate the evil of the left.
Amen. I know a vegan single mom who is raising her baby the same way..poor little one is pale and anemic all the time, I say it's child abuse since lack of nutrients can kill a child.
Seventh Day Adventists are not vegans, they are lacto-ovo vegetarians -- HUGE difference. I've been a lacto-ovo vegetarian for 29 years and am in absolutely perfect health. Vegans begin to go into obvious physical decline within a year or two, as the human body is just not designed to function without consuming animal products. Infants born to already depleted vegan mothers are sick from birth, and decline quickly if kept on this type of diet or on their mothers' depleted breast milk.
