I don't think they were saying homeschooling and health food was the red flags. The homeschooling came literally the day after a teacher tryd to talk to her about issues the child had in class. It wasn't just health foods, personally I don't think a child should live off nothing but raw veggies and nuts n protein shakes, there's alot of other foods that are nutritional that they can eat too. Obviously they weren't even getting enough to eat if a child is willing to eat out of a strangers garbage cans. All in all, it was the child's behavior and fear that gave red flags, along with the mom not even caring enough to go out n find the boy when he was missing. I would have be concerned right from the start too.
