A one-year-old boy has been
admitted to a Milan hospital hospital suffering serious
malnutrition after his parents imposed a vegan diet on him,
Corriere della Sera reported on Friday.
The case follows similar ones in Genoa and Florence
recently.
The Milan child, born in May 2015, was first taken to the
city's Fatebenefratelli hospital and doctors reported "very
serious malnutrition and calcium levels almost incompatible with
life".
Corriere reported that the parents ordered doctors not to
give the child milk or lactose, then they said they would not
cooperate and finally they took him back home.
The doctors informed prosecutors, who told police to take
the child off the parents.
He is now in Milan's San Donato hospital and his condition
is said to be improving.
