You have children.  You are supposed to care for them, nurture them and all that.  One of the basic requirements is you feed them good healthy and nutritious food.

Wrong!  Apparently you can feed them pureed junk food.  Two mothers will stand trial in Cairns on child cruelty charges after allegedly feeding their infants a pureed form of whatever left-over food the adults had eaten, including pizza, calamari, prawns, pork crackling and takeaway food.  They allegedly diluted this with water and fed it to the babies.

At the time the babies were taken into care by Department of Child Safety officers in August last year, they were allegedly so severely malnourished they would have died without intervention.  The pediatrician who assessed them at Cairns hospital said both children had been at serious risk of death from malnourishment, and were so under-developed when she saw them, then aged 16 months and 13 months, they could not even sit up or hold their heads up by themselves.

I actually think that going to the trouble of putting your leftover pizza and stuff through the blender and then mixing it up into a bottle formula shows at least some level of care for the children, not to mention a certain level of ingenuity.  I am surprised though that they used water to mix it up, I guess thats because they didn’t want to waste the VB, or 4X or whatever cheap cask wine it was that the mums were probably off their face on all the time.  Nor I suppose did they want to use the marijuana they no doubt were using heavily, as a herb to spice up their kids’ diets.
