It has been a proven fact that vegan diet has very negative impact on children development and their intellectual skills and mental health.

There are number of examples where it led children to near death or nearly death - see examples below. Imposing vegan diet on children is an abuse, so should the state react faster rather than after the harm is done?

"The girl, now three, was so malnourished she looked like a three-month-old at 19 months. (...) The child was found with no teeth"

"A vegan woman from Florida was sentenced to life in prison (...) following the death of her 18-month-old son from malnutrition. (...) He weighed only 17 pounds, making him about the size of a seven-month-old baby.The Cape Coral Police Department claimed all three children were found extremely malnourished.”
