Too Fat to remain at home! ( a rant)

The child will blame himself for the weight and may go to the other extreme, and become anorexic.

He might also be so resentful and have such low self-esteem he could become the next one to shoot up his school to get back at everyone -- or he might start at the social services office. First they make the child think being fat is almost criminal and make his parents "bad guys." Then they take hm away from the love he's known at home (presuming his parents do love him. It's true we don't know all the facts. All I know about this story is what I've read here.) He may feel his foster parents are starving him, and he will, no doubt, be forced to eat a lot of stuff he's not used to and may not like. I don't know how old this child is, but depending upon his age, this could add up to a traumatic experience that could make him come unglued. It's possible the child could then focus all his anger and frustration at the system and the social workers and the doctor who did this to him. It's not well-adjusted kids that become the shooters at their schools or other public places. It's also possible he could kill himself if he's miserable enough. I seem to recall that Ronald Reagan said some of the most fearsome words one can hear are "I'm from the government and I'm hear to help you." I wonder how "helped" this boy feels. Disclaimer: I am biased. I and my family and also my next-door neighbor and her family have been victims of social services interventions. I wonder if my daughter would still be alive today had they not intervened in our lives. And what they did to my neighbor was also disgraceful when she tried to get help for her family (too complicated to get into here) and wound up having her daughter turned against her and taken away and then the social worker blabbed details about the case in public at the office of the school where she was a regular volunteer.

I understand. I may be in the middle leaning left I almost fall over But I do agree some government suits should stay the f2ck away from us! I wouldn't blame this child if he Never trusts Anyone And if given the chance , he comes back and shoots up the place. Sadly I think he may harm himself instead. The kid is old enough to be an honors student so I assume he is 12 or older? The one time where Nothing feels right.

Ok. But by the guidelines there are about one third of children are obese. So if Every parent with an obese child lose custody, where are we going to put all these kids? I guess there will be fat farms for kids. All the kids will be taken away and placed in these " farms" and can not get out until they are thin or 18 or both.

I'm not suggesting that they take ANY of these kids from their families. I just stated that I didn't know the facts of this particular case, and was suggesting that it should be considered that the parents are at fault for allowing their child to become so obese that it is a major health risk. I'm assuming of course that this child is seriously obese. Neither am I stating that the parents ARE at fault, merely that it should be considered. What I would suggest is that the government works with various health bodies and welfare agencies to tackles the issues of junior obesity. Parents who allow their children to become overweight may be doing so for a variety of reasons, but some could be overcome with education about better food choices and preparation.

But the government doesn't want to do that. If they made it easier to buy fresh food at affordable prices would help. They could also make the streets safer so the kids could go out and play and have recess in Every school. But they are not doing that. What the food Nazis deem junk food , is the cheapest food. kids are inside playing videogames , where they are safe . And schools are so busy teaching to the test , that recess is being cut. So the government is Only blaming the parents. It shows in this action. That is why they are planning to take all these kids away. But then again being fat is Always seen as the person's fault Here. And I assume they want to pull these kids away so no one can see them. Kid warehouses are coming. It will cost More money than getting fresher , cheaper food , but that is what they want.

And it is going to get crazier.

You said something that I didn't even think of, a family doctor. I don't think this mom Had a family doctor. If she had , They wouldn't have taken her kid. Why? The doctor would be able to tell the food Naxis the child is under his/her care. I believe she took her son to the emergency room. And you know they saw a poor mom and assumed she was the problem. So they took him away. I heard she has a lawyer so this isn't done yet!

I heard about this story on the View. The girls mentioned that the child had sleep apnea.And that his mom took him to the ER I assume for help.

Yes! That makes sense. sadly Sense the government Does not have.

You would be surprised. Many food Nazis think the Only way they can save children is to take them away from parents who are killing them! That's how they see it! They are so wrong And they will find this out when they " Have to" take more kids away. Where are we going to put these kids? They didn't think this all out and once a parent goes to court to sue and win this practice will stop!

I think this is so wrong and unfair to the children!

The government has always been crooked. Why else would they come up with the fairy tale one bullet theory?Or the reason for Vietnam ? Iraq? They lie for a living!

Well then, it's time we start lying for a living also. LOL. I know, the one bullet theory, what a joke. I read a bout all about the Bonanno family, and at the end of the book, it explains in detail how Kennedy was killed. So, that was the truth. But, you're right, the government has always lied, but at least years ago, they did it nicely. Now, they just wind up doing stupid things.
