Vegan parents of malnourished baby avoid jail

I'm confused. I hear lots about Toxic Masculinity and etc.
But then Judge Huggett said: "The mother was suffering from a level of depression at the time but had become "increasingly fixated" in her beliefs - including their vegan diet. The Judge criticised the father for doing "nothing at all to address" his daughter's condition."

"It is the responsibility of every parent to ensure the diet they choose to provide to their children... is one that is balanced and contains sufficient essential nutrients for optimal growth," ABC quoted her as saying.

So the mother is given a pass and the father is demonized even though he has been beaten down with this Toxic Masculinity BS and believed it to the point of always listening to his wife no matter what.
LOL !!!!! Please bring out the Clown Car front and center.
