A Phoenix jury convicted a Valley father on Thursday accused of starving his three young children for what he called a "vegan lifestyle." The jury convicted Parker of lesser charges. The three yound children, who allegedly were fed a strict vegan diet -- no meat or animal byproducts, suffered from severe malnutrition, barely looking their ages. The jury -- seven men and five women -- found Blair Parker guilty on all three counts, but they were lesser charges of negligent child abuse and wreckless child abuse. The lesser charges mean there is no mandatory prison time and Parker will be eligible for parole. The kids' mother, Kimu Parker, had already been found guilty of the more severe charges of child abuse. She was sentenced to 30 years in prison. Blair Parker's trial begain about a month ago. Like his wife, he faced a possible sentence of 30 years. The children were taken into state custody in the spring of 2005. Photos of them stunned the Valley. An 11-year-old girl weighed just 36 pounds. Her 9-year-old brother weighed 29 pounds. The youngest child, a 3-year-old girl, weighed only 12 pounds. The doctor who examined her said she could see every bone in the child's body. The case came to light after the 3-year-old was rushed to the hospital because of seizures. The Parkers said at the time that they had their children on a strict vegan diet. A social worker said that after the children were hospitalized, they grew and gained weight.
