on six charges — first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter, child abuse and two counts of child neglect — in the death of Ezra O’Leary. Her sentencing in Lee County, Florida, had previously been postponed four times.
Her husband, Ryan Patrick O’Leary, remains in jail while awaiting trial on the same charges. Investigators said the couple told them the family ate only raw fruits and vegetables, although the toddler also was fed breast milk. The 18-month-old boy weighed 17 pounds and was the size of a 7-month-old baby when he died in September 2019, a police report said.
The Cape Coral couple had two other children, ages 3 and 5, who also were malnourished, investigators said. A fourth child had been returned to her biological father during an earlier malnutrition case in Virginia, court records show.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Now she can't have all the veggies she likes in jail...I guess she'll have to go for the meat
Just horrible
Prison menu awaits.
It isnt about veganism. There are a lot of cornivorous mums killing their kids.
I’m curious. Were her children taken to paediatrician regularly? No one found any signs?
Good
I honestly do not see why life in prison... she did not intentionally killed the boy. She believed on a special diet that according to her, it was a good one. She should get 5 to 10yrs. But not life in prison.
NBC and Cargill 😘😘😘😘 more meat propaganda
'Murder' is intentionally extinguishing the life of some one else. She didn't do it purposely, so she should be acquitted of murder on appeal.
I don't want to pile on, but would you not notice the problem and change course?
They need to take that uterus to.
Isn't this 3 weeks old or so?
I bet they don't serve vegan food in prison
This has nothing to do with being vegan. She didn't feed her children. Raw fruit & vegetables? There are protein sources that are vegan and inexpensive if money was an issue. She took a healthy diet and went to extremes. This is out and out abuse.
Repeat story
See the evil in her eyes?
Biden Voters children killers, the usual suspects
Now she'll become a Vagitarian behind bars.
This isn't vegan. This is a group of people who only eat raw fruits and vegetables. That is not what veganism is.
This makes vegans look bad. She was just an abusive parent, it wasn’t about her being a vegan. Ever heard of tofu?
Good
So save a cow, and eat a steak.
And 'food' for thought. Livestock animals out number people 10 to 1. (Cows, sheep, chickens, etc) If we all went vegan tomorrow (and even now we still can't feed all the people), but if we did, what do you think Farmers would do to 70 billion animals that were now worthless?
I knew an old woman once who told me her dog was a vegan. I didn't offer a reply as I work in a supermarket, but I was think: 'It's because you never give the poor thing meat'.
Totally irresponsible of to write a headline that is meant to stoke hatred of billions of vegans. Also, the child died from dehydration and not necessarily starvation. This brings up a serious question about the landlord may have been the true killer of the child.
Good
At least they have a vegan option in prison
It is almost as if choices we are free to make as adults shouldn't be a choice for kids until they reach certain age...
Perhaps the LA DA Gascon can do something to free her. That’s kinda mean to lock up a mom convicted of starving her kid. .
Judge well done
I'm not vegan, but the word 'vegan' in this headline is doing as much work as 'brown haired' would. It's an attention-grabbing red herring and shitty journalism. That kid died of malnutrition born entirely from neglect. Plenty of vegan children and adults are perfectly healthy.
Good!
Strange. Did she kill with purpose? Or at least know that the poor child will die? Wasn't she just one of the many fundamentalist dotards? I find life imprisonment for unintended killing out of proportion.
Good
The thing with veganism is, our heads and hearts might be ready for it, but our bodies aren't.
Vegans, always vegans.
Forced NBC to publish this news even if it upsets the progressive left world. This leads to the totalitarian vision of the left.
This is a mentally ill mother. Vegan shouldn’t be the headline. And no, I’m no vegan. But let’s not blame a particular health choice. She starved her child.
Kinda hate this headline. Did her veganism kill him? Or neglect?
Liberal craziness has no bounds
Vegan diet is not healthy.
