Perth parents sentenced to prison for severe neglect of their malnourished daughter.
A Perth couple in their mid-40s were sentenced to prison for neglecting their 17-year-old daughter, now 20, who was severely malnourished and at risk of cardiac arrest. Despite taking her to ballet and piano lessons, the parents treated her as a small child, leading to her weighing only 60 pounds. The father received a six-and-a-half-year sentence, while the mother got five years, as the court found they failed to provide adequate nutrition and support her development.
