A vegan couple arrested for giving their baby restrictive diet, which causing her to have malnutrition

News24xx.com - A vegan couple from Sweden was arrested for giving their 18-month-old baby a restrictive diet. This diet caused the baby girl to be malnourished and near death. The couple also had to pay $ 6000 for the damages done to the child.

The baby was fed breast milk, brown rice and potatoes. She was brought to the hospital in critical condition in February and placed into foster care.

The doctor said that her condition was worse than anything they had seen in the hospital before. Other doctors said that her condition was due to prolonged starvation.

“According to their ideological belief that the daughter was a citizen of the world, her parents did not even report the birth to any authority, have her checked at a pediatric center, or even weigh or measure her growth. Nor has the girl been vaccinated or examined by a doctor,” a court statement said.
