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.

Remarks against St Francis Xavier: Right-wing speaker Gautam Khattar gets bail
Panaji (PTI): A court in Goa on Saturday granted bail to right-wing speaker Gautam Khattar, who was arrested after he allegedly made derogatory comments against St Francis Xavier.
Judicial Magistrate First Class, Vasco, granted regular bail to Khattar, currently admitted to Goa Medical College and Hospital at Bambolim for treatment of chest pain after he was shifted from the District Hospital in Mapusa two days back.
A row erupted after a video of remarks by Khattar, the founder of Sanatan Mahasangh, at an event on April 18 in the presence of Swami Brahmeshanand, State Transport Minister Mauvin Godinho and BJP MLAs Sankulp Amonkar and Daji (Krishna) Salkar, went viral.
St Francis Xavier is revered as the patron saint of Goa.
The controversial remarks led to the Vasco Police registering an FIR against Khattar on charges of hurting religious sentiments and creating enmity between groups.
He was detained in Kullu, Himachal Pradesh, by local police. His custody was later handed over to the Goa Crime Branch, according to officials.
