Is there a law that requires a parent to feed their child meat?

it’s not a lack of “meat” per se (especially in an 11 month old) but a lack of sufficient calories (and probably milk) for a growing and developing child. That an adult would assume an adult type diet, especially a “vegan” one, would be good for a baby, is nuts. these people are mental cases. humans are omnivores.

Probably not (and rightfully so) but there certainly are laws against child endangerment. The “diet” forced upon this child appears to have had significant adverse effects on his health.

Vegans (unlike Vegetarians)will not consume milk either because it comes from animals - God designed women to produce milk to feed and nourish their children. Proper nutrition is critical for early development.

God's Law, by His design, says that baby's need something a Vegan diet does not supply.

There are laws requiring kids be adequately fed. Failure to thrive, absent an underlying medical condition, means the mom was essentially starving her baby.

A friend of mine became obsessed with doing everything natural
while also latching onto fear of the liberal agendas of pediatricians. She had a home birth and didn’t take her baby to a two week check up because “pregnancy isn’t a disease “ and clinics are germ infested and they will force immunizations. She was right but carried it to such an extent that she missed that this baby was tongue tied and wasn’t able to nurse properly. By four months he went from his 7 lb 6oz birthweight to 5 lbs. I believe postpartum depression coupled with her firm beliefs kept her blinded to reality. If someone hadn’t alerted the county, he would have died even though she loved him dearly and wanted what was best for him.

Once a parent is on CPS’s radar, they can take the kids away just for not having enough food in the house. No animal fat is very bad for babies and CPS will act on it.

The child obviously needs his vegan diet balanced with

added sugar & salt, high fructose corn syrup, aspartame, processed grains, boxes & bags of non food, high fat dairy,

then the good Doctor will say the child is healthy. Lol.

None, but starving your child is illegal. It’s a good thing the father stepped up

Do we need a law to tell us feed our children well balanced, nutritional meal, including complex protein?

No, but there are daily requirements that must be met for a child to thrive and withholding that nutrition is against the law. It is called child abuse.
