Vegan parents guilty in infant murder 6-week-old died of starvation after being fed diet of soy milk, apple juice

By BETH WARREN The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Published on: 05/02/07

The parents of a baby that died of starvation after being fed a vegan diet have been found guilty of malice murder, felony murder and first degree cruelty to children.

Jade Sanders, 27, and Lamont Thomas, 31, will get an automatic life sentence for the death of their 6-week-old infant, Crown. After being fed a diet largely consisting of soy milk and apple juice, he weighed only 3 1/2 pounds when he died.

The Fulton County jury deliberated the case for about seven hours.

Prosecutors said it was a chilling case of murder by starvation, a painful and prolonged death. Attorneys representing Sanders and Thomas told jurors the first-time parents did the best they could while adhering to their vegan lifestyle. Vegans typically live free of animal products.

"They're not vegans, they're baby killers," Fulton prosecutor Mike Carlson told the jury Tuesday during his closing arguments.

The couple's attorneys said they didn't realize their baby, born at home, was in danger until minutes before he died.


What lunatics eh?

:P

I can't believe these parents wouldn't have noticed that their diet was unsuited for an infant.

You know, human mothers produce breast milk for a reason. I fail to see how the mother's own breast milk would be considered to be any kind of animal cruelty since she produces it herself. These people deserved what they get.

I just can't see how you could go through life without a good T-bone steak. Mmm...

Hell, it says right on the back of the soymilk container that it is not to be used as baby formula. These people are morons.

Animal cruelty activists just blow my mind. People like this drive me nuts.
Plus, I'm surprised the baby didn't die from some sickness. Breast protects babies from so many things and provides them with necessary antibodies. I just don't get it.

Talk about a "pet" peeve :P

Personally, I fail to see the point in not breastfeeding your baby unless you have a very good reason not too. You've got breasts for a reason. But I'm biased. My mom's a LLL leader (LLL = La Leche League) and has brainwashed me with stuff about it since I could understand it.

You know, it's not exactly easy for a woman to breastfeed in our society, particularly if she works or has other daytime commitments. Breastfeeding is still something of a no-no in public places, and few public or private enterprises make any kind of effort to support women in their reproductive choices.

It's easy to tell women "do it this way" as a man, because you're never going to have to do it yourself. People tend to forget or normalise the uneven distribution of the demands of parenting on the two genders.

I agree with SA, my mother breast fed me and all of my sisters, and she said it was really tough at first. Not just from a social view point, but from a pain view point. And it rather seems that now breast feeding mothers are the minority.

As for those parents, I think it shows a certain lack of intelligence to a) feed their baby just apple juice and soy milk and b) to not realise something was wrong sooner and do something about it.

I truly believe some people should not be parents.
