sugarnspice Taking the child away is not a solution. This will create more problems for the child and the parents. The mental trauma alone will be bad for all of them. It would be much better if the social services worked with the family to help out as much as possible...

starr4all This is hard. I think there should be steps. First, get the family to a doctor immediately! Then, if the child continues to gain weight and it's due to the family not feeding the child correctly, yes, then take the child away. That is child endangerment. If...

DocterDew Well I can't see how this is child abuse I mean he may be the one eating without his parents being able to stop him. He may also have some kind of health problem that they haven't gotten checked out that makes him like this. I'm unsure but I think this is...

cblackink I definitely think they should work with the parents and educate them. Think how traumatic this could be for this boy to be taken away from his parents, for no other reason than being overweight? Every child needs their parents. Also, have they stated if they...

margieanneart I think that is awful. I feel that if they are concerned, then let them see the reasons why he is so heavy. Are the parents overweight? Is it a health condition. Maybe the parents need guidence, but they should help them, not take the boy. Unless, there is...

rosie_123 I saw the stories in the paper this morning. It is fairly typical of the so-called "nanny State" we have here in the UK nowadays, when the Government spend all their time telling us what not to do, instead of concentrating on the things we voted them in to do...

chargoans I would definitely need more information on this one. Is the boy a victim of a thyroid problem? Or is his obesity due to overeating? If it is overeating, then the parents should be offered the services of a nutritionist. Maybe they don't understand proper...

There are some people who believe that the man should be the boss or leader in a marriage. I feel that both husband and wife should be partners and equals. What do you think? All answers will be rated, thanks.

margieanneart No body should be a boss in any relationship. They are equal, and should respect and enjoy eachothers as equals.
