BBC Vegan Australian parents who left baby girl malnourished avoid jail 22 Aug 2019

「An Australian couple who put their baby daughter on a strict vegan diet that left her severely malnourished have avoided serving a jail sentence.」

「The couple in their 30s, who cannot be named, were sentenced to an 18-month jail term which will be served as a community order.

The girl, now three, was so malnourished she looked like a three-month-old at 19 months.

She was fed a diet of oats, potatoes, toast and rice among others.」

　19ヶ月段階で3ヶ月の子に見えたレベルの栄養失調だったという。それでひきつけを起こして病院に担ぎ込まれ、これであれこれ発覚。

「The girl was taken into care in March 2018 when her mother called emergency services after she suffered a seizure.

It was then that she was found to be severely malnourished. She presented with blue lips, cold hands and feet, low blood sugar and little muscle tone, said the Australian Associated Press.」

「"She couldn't sit up, she couldn't speak any words, she couldn't feed herself, she couldn't play with toys... she couldn't roll over all the way," she said in a victim impact statement in May.」

　…2歳段階までの超栄養失調だと、その後の発達に絶望的な影響がある気がするんだが。
