Perth Parents Convicted of Starving Teenage Daughter

A Perth couple has been found guilty of child neglect after deliberately stunting their daughter's growth.

The couple was found guilty of failing to provide adequate nutrition and emotional, social, and functional development for their daughter.
Their daughter, who was 16 at the time, weighed only 27 kilograms, the average weight of a nine-year-old.
The parents forged her birth certificate to make her appear younger and ignored repeated concerns from dance teachers.
The girl was homeschooled, isolated, and displayed immature behavior for her age, heavily reliant on her parents.
The couple's request for bail was denied, and they await sentencing in January, facing up to 10 years in prison.
