“A vegan mother has been found guilty of murder for the death of her 18-month-old son who weighed just 17lbs when he died in 2019 after a short life being fed only fruit, vegetables and breastmilk.

Sheila O'Leary, 39, was convicted of a jury in Cape Coral, Florida, on Tuesday after a week-long trial.

She is now facing life behind bars and will be sentenced on July 25. Her son Ezra died in 2019 from complications caused by malnutrition.”

i need plants to explain to me if there's actually a feasible vegan diet for children

cause:

her son ezra died in 2019 from complications caused by malnutrition

clearly this lady isnt gonna figure out

they gonna dog her and she should be put on the spot for malnutrition, but idk the full story

i can’t say i’m sure she just wanted best for her kids, but u gotta give someone the benefit of the doubt

if she wasn’t working with a doctor on this kind of diet she’s beyond reckless tho and deserves something

very sad i feel bad for everyone involved

definitely should take ur kid to the doctor tho sheesh

i feel like she wasn’t feeding him
right

op threads looking like some click baiting right wing news rag

Well fruits and vegetables is definitely not enough and most vegans don’t just eat that

There’s plenty of nutritional vegan meals that will keep you healthy

But I’m not sure if a child should be on a vegan diet tbh

Sheila and her 30-year-old husband Ryan said were both charged with murder after the 18-month-old's death. They admitted to police that they should have called 911 when Ezra started struggling to breathe back in 2019, but that they went to sleep instead

Just s***ty parents overall

NFT avi says it all

thats crazy

bro this might have ruined my day lol. now im just thinking like how terrible this all is. s***s scary cus kids are so hard to read

plants lost

Yeah she wasn’t feeding him meat

"The three children were fed a diet that consisted mostly of mangoes, bananas, avocados and rambutans"

the article also details how the kids looked malnourished (black teeth, yellow skin, bones showing etc)

this mom is a negligent pos, I don't think being vegan is the reason she can"t feed her kids properly, she's sick in the head

OP trying to point this to being a vegan when really it’s just the mother doesn’t know Wtf she’s doing or she just didn’t care.

A vegan diet can be completely feasible for children, as long as certain vitamins are supplemented. These parents were simply just abusive and negligent.

Just a s***ty mother who doesn’t know how to do veganism correctly, and clearly has way bigger issues. Stop making it out like this is somehow endemic to veganism

Vegan diets require additional supplements to keep you healthy.

It's a really hard diet, so that's why most people stick with vegetarian or paleo diets.

I really gotta get better at going to people for help when things are going a little wrong. I feel like I neglect things in my life the same way out of pride/laziness and an ignorant hope that it’ll work out. You can’t be that way with a kid at all

I agree except for the vitamin supplement part
what vitamins do u get out of dead meat ?

Ive heard the vitamin deficiency for vegans is a myth, if u eat right u'll get everything u need, im not an expert tho
@plants help us here, do u take vitamins ?

Vegan doesn’t mean you’re only supposed to eat fruits and vegetables Most of what I eat is grains, beans, and nuts

You don't need animal products to survive

This is just cause of a negligent mother and not veganism

B**** couldnt do 5 seconds of research

OP literally just posted a tabloid and alt right twitter nigga
