A 218 pound eight year old boy?

Is it child abuse? When the mom is shown on television feeding him french fry sandwiches I say yes! That child will be lucky if he lives to be thirty.

Yes, it's abusive behaviour. That boy should be eating broiled or baked chicken or fish, steamed veggies, and fruit. Period.

Yes, there are a few medical conditions that lead to obesity, but this child was shown bouncing on a trampoline.
He is an active child, so she has to be feeding him two to three times the calories he needs. :(

Child rearing is not a race to see who can raise the chubbiest child. I hope the authorities insist the mom teach him proper eating habits, if not the poor kid should be removed for his safety. She is sick and will kill that kid.

I agree she must be ill to have allowed this to get so out of hand. Yes, they need supervision or intervention, and that's coming from someone who is normally against more restrictions on our lives.
