The child was not vaccinated and had no birth certificate, according to police.
Australian parents who fed their child a vegan diet could face jail after she became so malnourished she had no teeth. Downing Centre Court in Sydney heard the 20-month-old was also suffering from rickets, a bone condition commonly caused by a lack of vitamin D or calcium, News.com.au reported.
The child is now “technically obese” due to her abnormal stature, she said according to the Australian Associated Press. "It's like her body is storing calories in case she needs them in the future." The parents’ actions will have a"long-term impact" on the child's development, the carer said according to 7news.com.au.
The girl was taken to hospital in March 2018 after she experienced a seizure. Police arrested the couple on April 6, 2018. They faced court in May last year after police said the child was malnourished, Associated Newspapers reported. The solicitor representing the father claimed the mother “dictated” their home and that he was neither a vegan, nor anti-vax. He said his client did the driving, cooking, cleaning and shopping.
