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.

Punishment for those disrupting assembly proceedings, warns Speaker UT Khader
Belagavi: Speaker U.T. Khader on Friday warned that members who disrupt Assembly proceedings by talking in their seats during debates will be made to sit in the House for an entire day as a disciplinary measure.
The warning came after the Question Hour, when Deputy Leader of the Opposition Arvind Bellad was permitted to initiate a discussion on the development of North Karnataka.
At this point, expelled BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal objected, stating that he had been seeking a debate for the past three days but had not been given an opportunity.

Responding to the objection, Speaker Khader said Bellad had already been granted permission and assured Yatnal that he would be allowed to speak at the next opportunity. He noted that even as a serious discussion was underway, several MLAs were speaking among themselves with their microphones on, disrupting the proceedings.
Expressing displeasure over the conduct of members, Khader likened the situation to football, where players receive red, yellow, or white cards for violations. Similarly, he said, the Assembly issues warning cards to members who disturb the House. If they fail to correct themselves despite repeated warnings, they would be required to remain seated in the Assembly hall for a full day as punishment, he stated.
