Julia French, 20, and Robert Buskey, 31, of Titusville, Florida, were charged with neglect after investigators found the infant weighed only 8 pounds, 8 ounces after being recorded at birth at 7 pounds, 9 ounces, according to WFTV news. 

The Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) said the boy was obviously malnourished with his ribs visible and eyes appearing sunken. 

‘At one point, when the child was doing good and healthy and gaining weight, he was on an organic formula and they changed it on their own,’ said Titusville Police Detective Lauren Watson. ‘I’ve never seen a child to this level, this close to possible death.’

Julia French, 20, allegedly found a mashed-potato concoction on the internet that she fed to her infant rather than the doctor-prescribed formula fitting with her vegan lifestyle

While the couple is unmarried, a person familiar with the investigation told WESH that French claims to be Buskey’s concubine under ‘Nazarite Hebrew’ religious principles.

The couple allegedly ignored the type of formula that would fit with their vegan lifestyle ordered by their doctor, and instead fed him on a potato-based creation found on the internet by French.

The parents, who could afford the prescribed formula, did not present a reason as to why they did not provide it to their child, according to police.

Kelly’s outing comes after she admitted she was body-shamed by a school teacher at the age of 11, as they accused her of wearing clothes that were too ‘flirty’. 

She told The Mirror’s Notebook magazine: ‘The Head Of Year sent me to her office and said, “You can’t come to school looking the way you do, flirting with every boy that comes past.” I was 11.

‘I didn’t know what the word “flirt” even meant. I dressed the same as everyone else, but my curves made me different. After that realisation I felt very uncomfortable with my looks.’
