Yes. it's terrible that a Christian should express outrage at someone
who admits to abusing their child and endangering its life.

A few years ago he leading children's hospital near my place reported
that the second largest group of children brought to emergency (after
accident victims) were the children of vegans and other food nuts who
were starving their kids and denying them proper nutrition.

I'm sorry but being a vegetarian is neither abuse nor endangering one's life.

This poster's reaction was way over the line.

It i snot being a vegetarian that evoked the response, but the damage
done to the child as a result. Sickly, undersized, underweight. Child
neglect or abuse.

It did not go far enough.
