stupid vegans endanger their child

A vegan couple in Scotland has had their 12 year old daughter admitted to the hospital because of decalcification of her bones caused by a lack of Vitamin D in her diet.  The hospital says this 12 year old now has the spine of an 80 year old woman.  The hospital is facing heavy pressure to request the child be taken into protective custo...wait, what?  She hasn't already?  They're killing this kid, they ought to be in jail! 

As it turns out, no, the Glasgow child services have received no complaints.  First question...why the fuck not?  And second question, why did the reporters not try and file a complaint themselves, or Glasgow's child services not start their own investigation?

1 I don't know if vegans over in Scotland have the same education over there, but I know here people are often advised to take vitamin supplements if they are going to go vegan. I don't understand, if they were going to force their daughter to go vegan, why they didn't at least give her a vitamin supplement to replace the nutrients that she was being denied.

2 Or better yet, why not wait until she was old enough (and developed enough) to make her own decision???

4 You're forgetting the big picture: at least they're not causing animals to die.

5 Hey, now, it's not like they were members of a strange religious group or something.  Why would they take the kid for something as progressive as being vegans and malnourishing her?

Because that would make too much sense.

Why are they going so easy on these people?

I bet because vegans have the Lefty Cause Seal of Approval.

Now, if they tried to teach their kids some religious values....
