MIAMI -- Parents of a child who is believed to have died of malnutrition will have to pay up, or stay in jail.
Monday, a Miami-Dade County judge set a $200,000 bond for Joseph and Lamoy Andressohn. The couple's request for lower bond was denied. They are awaiting trial on manslaughter charges.
The Andressohns are accused of contributing to the death of their 5-month-old daughter by keeping her on a raw food diet.
The child weighed less than her birth weight of just seven pounds when she died.
