Vegan parents who starved their baby of nutrients so badly the infant developed brain damage have avoided jail. In the County Court of Victoria on Monday, the parents - age 32 and 34 - were spared jail after pleading guilty to negligently causing serious injury, news.com.au reported. County Court judge Claire Quin previously condemned the parents' behaviour, particularly their decision to ignore advice from medical professionals. 'These parents, they weren't 19 or 20 years old, they were in their early 30s,' Judge Quin said. The couple have since separated after having a second child together, and the father has renounced his vegan diet.
