Should Obese Kids be Put in Foster Care?
Posted by Neil Katz
(CBS) Should morbidly obese kids be put in foster care? It’s a provocative question, but that’s exactly what a group of health care specialists on the other side of the pond are recommending.
Their logic? If children can be removed from a home because of health risks like physical and mental abuse or failure to care for health problems like asthma or epilepsy, why not a long term health risk like obesity which can create a life long struggle with diabetes and heart problems.
