The child’s Dr said: “His diet was essentially a portion of chips from the local fish and chip shop every day.” - A child who has just left primary school does not earn money to buy chips every day. So yes, I agree with David, jail his parents. That is child abuse.

Parents obviously ignorant, probably poorly educated and really they need education and parenting classes. Jailing them will achieve nothing.

I would assume you would be jailed if you did that to a dog.

I blame the parents 100% all kids do in this day and age is live in their bedrooms on x box never going out and eating crap.

Definitely child abuse 🤬

Disgraceful. Jail the parents 100%.

100% child abuse, I'm sure he's not the only case though, i see kids everyday after school with chicken and chips hanging out at our local chicken shops.

Everybody should be free to fuck up however they want. Do it better yourself if you want but let’s not be bothered with how somebody else should live their life

What if they had beaten their child with a stick?, still no punishment according to your logic.

Yer but didn't we have a nation wide campaign raising awareness and money because kids were not being fed during the school holidays?, one minute our kids are all obese, next minute their starving it's a load of SJW bollocks imo.

Agree... Child abuse in my book

Physical violence is abuse and illegal, that’s a whole different story.

Im pretty sure aiding, abetting and allowing a minor to physically starve themselves to the point of losing their sight is, and going partially deaf, is against the law.

Jail time

Agree thats child abuse and they should be charged

Abuse comes in many forms. Physical, psychological, verbal, emotional. Your body needs a well balanced diet +exercise. #childabuse

It is neglect and abuse not to feed a child a healthy diet. This case is particularly bad. Most children actually don't have proper healthy diets so where does one draw the line? I view giving children vaccines as child abuse but others think they are doing the right thing. I don't think jail time is always appropriate - does that really help the child? You have to look at the circumstances of the parents and see how fit they are as functioning adults. Can't judge without knowing the facts.
