Birmingham parents found guilty of causing their son's death through extreme neglect and malnutrition.

A Birmingham couple, Tai and Naiyahmi Yasharahyalah, have been found guilty of causing the death of their three-year-old son, Abiyah, through extreme neglect. Abiyah died from a respiratory illness exacerbated by malnutrition, rickets, anemia, and stunted growth due to a restrictive vegan diet. The parents, who avoided mainstream society, buried his body in their garden without seeking medical help. They were also convicted of child cruelty and perverting the course of justice. The couple will be sentenced next Thursday.
