These parents have been practicing a belief system that was at least, if not more, as harmful as flat earth. Malnutrition was only part of the problem. The child had also never been vaccinated nor registered as being born, or given her any pediatric checkups.

Nor has the girl been vaccinated or examined by a doctor,” a court statement said.
