I once knew a 10 year old boy that weighed 205 pounds. His mother was also severely obese which makes me wonder what the mother weighs in this story. If she is close to a normal weight, this may be something besides overeating. Either way, the government has no business taking this kid.
We have an 11 yr old kid in our neighborhood who weighs over 200 lbs. His 12 yr old brother is just over 100 lbs. Both parents are normal. This kid can run like any other kid, but he could be a real threat to any pee wee football player.
“Either way, the government has no business taking this kid.”
If doctors say the kid’s health is in imminent danger because of the obesity, then why doesn’t the government have business there? They can take a kid if you are beating them to death but not if you are feeding them to death?
