Stupid, stupid, stupid. Criminal ignorance. :cry:

If the parents were so damn interested in a wholesome-natural-foods-raw-diet, why didn't mommy breastfeed her baby? Then the poor little critter would have stood a chance of surviving to its first birthday at least.

Of course, if that famine diet was what the dimwit mother was consuming before, during, and after her pregnancy, the baby might have starved to death regardless.

It's possible the parents have been punished enough by the death of their child and the trial, but then again, since the jury found it was the kid's fault (so to speak) it's also possible they have not learned a damn thing.
