k did your kid develop fking rickets? 
My cousin's ex has 3 kids by 3 Fathers, she is the absolute worst kind of Mother/benefits stereotype you can imagine. Anyway, his daughter is around 4 and doctors said she was a borderline rickets case. He visits when he can, and takes them outside into the sunshine, gives them all the best nutrition. However she simply does not give a F. So I can see how this happened. Lack of sterilsation of certain people.
Read the judgement. This case is exceptionally complicated, and we are in no position to judge the parents.
Over 60 expert, medical and professional witnesses couldn't agree on:
a) Whether the rickets was congenital, developmental or caused by malnutrition
b) How significant a factor the rickets was in cause of death

Quite. The parents were aquitted, and it sounds as if some of the doctors dropped a bOver 60 expert, medical and professional witnesses couldn't agree on:

k. Sad case all around, but it certainly sounds to have not been handled well.

Something here makes me think this might be multiple failings by multiple people from multiple institutions.
Cut and dried PH parent-bashing case it is not.

Could be a combination of things - zinc is required to metabolize vitamin D for example. I would say 4 months is a bit young for it to be anything other than congential... Actually it probably is as those of a darker skin colour aren't adapted to making Vitamin D in our amount of sunlight.
But hey - I'm not a Doctor or a social worker, and after reading about cases like this, I'm glad I am not.

From what I have read (which isn't everything, so I reserve the right to change my opinion in the light of further information), I'd say they had some compensation comming, yes. If the state mishandles things very badly, then the citizen should be compensated.As for lawyer fees, and the amount of compensation which may be awarded, I fail to see how that's related. That's an issue with the legal system generally, not specific to this case.

Just seen the parents on TV and, whilst they may not challenge Einsteen in a debate on relativity, they do seem a pretty normal and respectable couple.
They certainly don't fall into a "Benefits Scrounger/Council Estate Spongers" stereotype.

"It is difficult to hear of a more astonishing ordeal than that endured by the parents of baby Jayden.
Accused of murdering their first child who died of natural causes, the couple had to suffer the shock of seeing their second baby taken away in the delivery room and taken into care.
They were acquitted of murder at the Old Bailey last December but have not been able to speak until now due to their family court battle to have their baby daughter Jayda returned to them.
That fight ended successfully on Thursday. For almost three years, they were treated as murder suspects not only by police and medical experts but also strangers in the street who recognised them from newspaper reports.
Both parents want their story told and an inquiry held to help other innocent parents in similar circumstances.
Solicitors and other medical experts say there are many other parents also accused of abuse and murder of children where rickets is later found to be the cause."
