His parents claim he throws vicious tantrums if he doesn't get third or fourth helpings of dinner.

Problem identified. Yet another set of parents who refuse to say no to their children.

I never got why so many parents cannot do this. It is so easy!

My parents let us eat all we wanted but my sisters and I were active. Course we didn’t have cable TV or video games back in the olden days of the 70s.

IMHO, parents today want to be their child's friend, rather than a parent.

Unless he was born with some condition that causes excessive weight, he didn't get to 9s overnight.

The enablers, aka relatives, are complicit.

More parents are conditioned to want to be their child’s “friend” or “buddy” than even 20 years ago. You can even hear it in the nicknames they give their children.
