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.
