'Gut-wrenching': Florida vegan couple indicted for murder after baby dies from malnutrition
A Florida couple has been indicted for murder after police say they forced their malnourished baby to eat only raw fruits and vegetables.

Ryan Patrick O’Leary, 30, and Sheila O’Leary, 35, were arrested last month after a medical examiner ruled that their 18-month-old baby died in September from malnutrition.
Sheila O’Leary had called the police to report that the child was cold and not breathing. The baby was pronounced dead after medics arrived at their Cape Coral home, according to Fort Myers News-Press. The boy weighed just 17 pounds, the weight of an average 7-month-old.
In addition to the 18-month-old, the couple had three other children, ages 3, 5, and 11. The two youngest were Ryan O’Leary’s biological children, and police observed that they were incredibly small for their ages and had a pale, yellowish complexion. One of the children had blackened teeth.
