Vegan parents in Florida allegedly starved and left their 5-month-old baby malnourished after they stopped using the doctor-advised formula and instead gave him a potato-based mash, police said.
Robert Buskey, 31, and Julia French, 20, have been accused of causing harm to the toddler and may face further charges.
The suspects were described as vegans who ignored doctors requests to feed the baby organic formula and instead began giving the child their own, WFTV 9 reported.
Ive never seen a child to this level, this close to possible death, Detective Lauren Watson of the Titusville Police Department said. ..."
Police say the baby weighed 8 pounds, 8 ounces at 5 months old, which was just one pound more than the birth weight, FOX 8 reported.
The babys ribs were visible and his eyes were sunken, authorities said. The baby was also sleepy and had an erratic temperature and sugar levels due to dehydration and malnourishment.

I guess this is worse than forcing your child to switch genders so you can be a Leftist Hero Parent. But not much worse.

Yes, exactly. People like this disgust me. And why wasn’t this stupid woman nursing her baby? Probably because she herself is so malnourished she can’t produce milk. (Not that I’m from the La Leche League or anything, but that’s the most organic was to nourish a newborn).
I hope they take that poor abused infant away from these people and give him or her to a rich, Texas cattleman whose rich, glamorous wife is a gourmet cook.
