A 5-year-old girl weighs 98 pounds due to a rare condition that constantly leaves her hungry for more food.

Mom Holly Williams, 25, from the United Kingdom, has resorted to putting a baby gate in the kitchen so that daughter Harlow can’t overeat.

Harlow has Prader-Willi syndrome and is missing chromosome 15, which is responsible for controlling hunger. Therefore, Harlow constantly has an appetite and always wants to eat. Having a baby gate on the kitchen door helps with making sure that Harlow isn’t getting into cupboards in the kitchen,” Williams told Caters.

98 pound food vacuum vs. baby gate…

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I worked with a guy who had a son with this condition.

They had to keep all the cabinets and refrigerator padlocked.

It was. Now it’s a girls name.

You folks can make all the jokes you want, but this sounds like a horrible condition I would not wish upon anyone, let alone a small child. What a nightmare for the child and the parents.

A new poll shows 50 percent blame the Mom for the child being obese.

And the other 50 percent blame her for being a bad parent locking the poor child out of the kitchen.

[nickcarraway]

I agree.

Named after Harlow Wilcox of Johnson Wax.

It’s a true nightmare. I knew someone whose son has it.

The body never ever feels full and always feels hungry.

This poor child. Poor family.
These kids have muscle and brain problems too.
Thank your lucky stars that you don’t have to deal with this.

What's a girl?

[NWFree]

That’s not a child that’s a pig

[Secret Agent Man]

There are appetite suppressants she could be given.

[Yo-Yo]

I think mom spends too much time worrying about how she looks and neglects her daugher.

[TexasGator]

You have a warped mind.

“You folks can make all the jokes you want, but this sounds like a horrible condition I would not wish upon anyone, let alone a small child.”

I proposeda daily stupid jokes thread where these idiots could play but didn’t get any support.
