Recently, two children in the Lower Rhine region were alleged victims of their parents' neglect, resulting in hunger. The court in Moers is about to disseminate the verdict regarding the parents. The prosecution alleges that they provided the toddlers with inadequate food for several months in 2021.

The indictment purports that the parents did not attend to the children's physical or mental growth either. One day, the youth welfare office interfered in the family's home in Kamp-Lintfort, revealing that the girls had distended stomachs - a condition commonly seen among starving kids in Africa.

The 33-year-old father and the same-aged mother are also being charged with physically assaulting protected individuals. They had previously claimed that the girls were struggling with a stomach-intestinal disease in a previous hearing. The father explained that he was too overwhelmed by the situation.

The case falls under the jurisdiction of the District Court in Kleve, with the trial happening before the foreign criminal chamber in Moers. It is anticipated that the closing arguments will be read on the final day of the trial.
