That's a good point actually. I won't offhandedly agree that it was strictly bad parenting that led to this kids dying though. Poor judgement and poor CHOICE played a part in it (obviously), but we don't know if these people outright refused ... we don't know the minute by minute circumstances that led to this. That these peoples "vegan" dietary choice played a large PART of causing the kid to die seems obvious at least.


He STARVED to death fer chrissakes. Over six WEEKS.

What ?

We're these two loonies too high to notice this infants distress ? That wouldn't surprise me a bit. What fucked up people.
