exclusively breasfeed baby dies

I dont see what charging the parents is gonna help anything. I dont think they wanted to lose their baby. No parent wants that. I think look at the reasons they were doing this. Were they misinformed? Yes definately.

Should they have listened to the Dr? Definately.

How many times have any of us not listened when Plunket, or a healthcare personnel told us to do something? I know I did countless times. From the one telling me I should stop breastfeeding as it is a waste, to having to always put baby on the side and not the back. to not co-sleeping or having to do the MMR right now or my child will die (were we wait until 2).

I feel very sorry for these parents. But perhaps if someone that understood their believes have taken it into consideration and worked with them instead of just pushing one idea onto them (which might have made them more resistant with it).

I dont think this is as black and white as we want it to be. Just think of their other child that might lose both parents to jail. Perhaps rather use them to do volunteer work on showing others the dangers and a happier medium between vegan diet WITH Supplements and letting your child chose later for themselves to be vegan or not.
