Vegan Parents Accused Of Starving Son to Death on Raw Food Diet 😲

Ryan O’Leary, 30, and Sheila O’Leary, 35, were arrested in Cape Coral, Florida after their 18-
month-old son died on September 27 weighing only 17 pounds, which is the weight of an
average seven-month-old. An autopsy found that the toddler died after suffering complications related to malnutrition, including dehydration, microsteatosis of liver and swelling of hands, feet and legs, Cape Coral police said in a statement. Sheila O’Leary told police that her family is vegan and only eats raw fruits and vegetables. She said that she also breast fed her toddler, adding that the toddler had not eaten solid food in a week and had only been breastfed. They charged with aggravated negligent manslaughter among other charges and are being held in jail until their arraignment on December 9. The NHS advises a vegan or vegetarian diet is suitable for babies and children but parents must ensure the child is receiving sufficient nutrients and calories.
