this kind of reminds me of an episode of house - same deal, parents were vegans, the kid was malnourished, and they called child protective services, only to discover that the parents were working with a nutritionist to ensure that the baby got the right amount of calories because of the vegan diet. the baby had a condition that prevented the absorption of nutrients as i remember.
but really, i mean 3.5 pounds? i don't care what kind of diet your baby is on, you'd have to be willfully ignoring it at that point, because i'm guessing that's less than what the baby weighed when it went home.
if they were so adamant about the vegan diet, they should have worked with someone to ensure that the baby was well nourished, this is negligent, vegan or not.
