French father jailed for raising children on diet of Coca-Cola & biscuits
Poor parenting and questionable dietary choices has landed a man in jail in France, after a court found him guilting of raising his two children almost entirely on fizzy drinks and biscuits.
A Limoges court found the man, who the jury heard suffered from alcohol addiction, guilty of neglect towards his three- and four-year-old sons.
According to AFP, the unnamed father came to the attention of social services and it was discovered that the children were almost exclusively being fed on a diet of sugary biscuits and Coca-Cola.
The eldest child had to have a total of seven teeth removed due to the severity of the situation.
“It's a special case, bathed in violence,” said Carole Papon, a lawyer for the two children.
The father is an alcoholic, cannot read, write or count. He beat his children and their mother regularly. At four-years old, the older one even tried to intervene between the parents.
A psychological assessment of the children is now due to take place while they remain in foster care. Meanwhile, the pair’s father will have to serve at least three months in jail over the neglect which occurred between 2016 and 2017, reported Le Parisien.

Another North Goa nightclub sealed; Kejriwal says corruption led to fire tragedy
Panaji (PTI): As part of a crackdown against tourist establishments violating laws and safety norms in the aftermath of the Arpora fire tragedy, Goa authorities on Saturday sealed a renowned club at Vagator and revoked the fire department NOC of another club.
Cafe CO2 Goa, located on a cliff overlooking the Arabian Sea at Vagator beach in North Goa, was sealed. The move came two days after Goya Club, also in Vagator, was shut down for alleged violations of rules.
Elsewhere, campaigning for local body polls, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal said the fire incident at Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub at Arpora, which claimed 25 lives on December 6, happened because the BJP government in the state was corrupt.
An inspection of Cafe CO2 Goa by a state government-appointed team revealed that the establishment, with a seating capacity of 250, did not possess a no-objection certificate (NOC) of the Fire and Emergency Services Department. The club, which sits atop Ozrant Cliff, also did not have structural stability, the team found.
The Fire and Emergency Services on Saturday also revoked the NOC issued to Diaz Pool Club and Bar at Anjuna as the fire extinguishers installed in the establishment were found to be inadequate, said divisional fire officer Shripad Gawas.
A notice was issued to Nitin Wadhwa, the partner of the club, he said in the order.
Campaigning at Chimbel village near Panaji in support of his party's Zilla Panchayat election candidate, Aam Aadmi Party leader Kejriwal said the nightclub fire at Arpora happened because of the "corruption of the Pramod Sawant-led state government."
"Why this fire incident happened? I read in the newspapers that the nightclub had no occupancy certificate, no building licence, no excise licence, no construction licence or trade licence. The entire club was illegal but still it was going on," he said.
"How could it go on? Couldn't Pramod Sawant or anyone else see it? I was told that hafta (bribe) was being paid," the former Delhi chief minister said.
A person can not work without bribing officials in the coastal state, Kejriwal said, alleging that officers, MLAs and even ministers are accepting bribes.
