But this story is really horrific - a mother and father who thought “sunlight” was “food” were just arrested after their baby starved to death.
News.com reported that Sunlight-worshipping parents of a newborn who died of “prolonged starvation” have been detained in Russia.
The mother, Oxana Mironova, 33, is under investigation for causing death by negligence. The father Maxim Lyutyi, 43, has been separately arrested for resisting police.
The strange pair are reported to be believers in “feeding on sunlight”, while Lyutyi is known as a “radical raw foodist”, according to Zvezda News.
Blogger Maxim Lyutyi promotes eating sunlight and raw food.
Oxana Mironova, 33, was charged with causing death by negligence.
“The preliminary version of the infant’s death is severe exhaustion … that the blogger tried to instil his nutrition system in the baby,” the outlet said.
The baby boy – around one-month old – was reported to have been taken to hospital near Sochi after he was suspected of suffering with pneumonia and emaciation caused by starvation.
The baby later tragically died due to “prolonged starvation”.
The Russian Investigative Committee is conducting an investigation into the infant’s death and a criminal case has been launched.
I hope they lock these two ghouls up for the rest of the miserable lives.
