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.

Telangana CM urges Amit Shah to increase sanctioned strength of IPS officers in state
Hyderabad (PTI): Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy met Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi on Wednesday night and urged him to increase the sanctioned strength of IPS officers to the state in view of its growing administrative and security needs.
The two leaders also discussed the recent surrender of several senior Maoist leaders before the Telangana Police and other issues.
"During the meeting, the two leaders discussed the issue of Maoist surrenders and their rehabilitation. The chief minister informed Shah that significant improvements in policing have taken place in Telangana over the past two years," an official release here said.
Highlighting that 591 Maoists have laid down their arms and joined the mainstream of society during this period, the chief minister said the state government was providing them compensation and rehabilitation assistance as per the rules.
He requested the Union home minister to extend financial support from the central government for development works in the backward regions of the state.
Reddy also urged Shah to increase the sanctioned strength of IPS officers to the state from 83 to 105 in line with the state's growing administrative and security needs, the statement said.
The first cadre review after the formation of Telangana was conducted in 2016, while the next review, due in 2021, was delayed and finally carried out in 2025. Even then, only seven additional IPS officers were allocated to the state, the chief minister informed Shah and requested that the third cadre review be conducted in 2026 as per the schedule.
Reddy explained that Telangana, like the rest of the country, is facing several modern challenges, including cybercrime, drug trafficking, white-collar crimes, and other emerging security threats.
He highlighted the reorganisation of the Hyderabad, Cyberabad, and Malkajgiri Police Commissionerates, the proposed formation of the Future City Commissionerate and the rapidly growing population in Hyderabad to underline the increasing administrative requirements of the state.
