A Seminole County mother wrapped up in a controversy over medical treatment for her child has regained custody of her baby.

Casselberry police charged Sarah Markham with child neglect after she refused to take her newborn, Caleb, to see a doctor in June. She told officers she wanted to pursue a treatment that was based in her faith.

Markham and Josh Cooper, Caleb's father, said Wednesday that they can be a family again. Markham must provide the court with the visit she had with her nutritionist and make a new appointment with the pediatrician.

Caleb is 4 1/2 months old and has been in the care of his grandparents since his mother was arrested for child neglect.

Casselberry police got a locksmith and opened Markham's door after they said the mother refused to answer it. Investigators said she refused to take what doctors called her "dehydrated" newborn to the hospital. Caleb was 12 days old at the time.

According the arrest report, Markham wanted a second opinion and did not believe her son was dehydrated.

As a vegan and Seventh-day Adventist Markham asked the doctor if he had a "vegan" alternative. The child's pediatrician called the Florida abuse hotline.

"It's a travesty. It never should have never happened," said Caleb's grandfather, Bo Markham. "He does all the things that a 4 1/2 month old should be doing and he eats a lot."

Mark O'Mara, Markham's attorney, said he would like to hold the pediatrician to task, Dr. Chaban Carlos, who called the abuse hotline. But the family wants to move on and enjoy spending time with their baby.
