Vegan parents charged in death of baby

Vegan parents charged in death of baby raised on mother's milk; facing 30 years in prison

In the latest outrage of the global "vegan police" striking out against those who follow a healthy diet, a couple in France is now facing up to 30 years in prison because they refused to feed their baby junk infant formula and instead breastfed her. The baby died at 11 months of age, and when ambulance workers arrived and found the baby dead, instead of consoling the parents, they called the police. Why? Because the parents were vegans.

And because the parents were vegans, an autopsy was performed that found the baby was deficient in vitamin A and vitamin B12, which the deputy prosecutor claimed could have been related to the vegan diet of the parents. The couple has now been charged with "food deprivation followed by death" and faces up to 30 years in prison.

If they know they are the reason of their child's death, isn't that punishment enough?

I didn't read the whole article, but if they willfully refused to feed the child knowing he/she would be malnourished, then yes they deserve to be charged.
