my friend had a mom who wont let her eat more than 500 calories a day. the girl is 5 foot 5 inches, and she has to be 100 pounds or else she gets in serious trouble that is a bmi (body mass index) of 16.6 which is 2 point below the healthy weight of the avrage person (body builder will have like a bmi of 6 but they are professionals, this girl is 14)
i am so worried for her! she need to eat! a healthy weight for someone that tall would be 125 to 140!!!!!!!1 god! her mom is physco! what do i do! isnt this a form of child abuse? not letting your kid eat more than 500 calories a day and basically starving her?

The mother evidently has a few issues floating around her head. I'm not sure what the mom's size is..or if she had an eating disorder of something. But, this is totally wrong. How is the mom in other aspects of the her daughter's life?..Whatever it is..you need to call family services..or get in touch with the school councillor..(also..are you sure it is her mom denying her food, not the fact that your friend could have an eating disorder and is trying to hide it)
But yes..that is a form of child abuse ..she is starving her if what is happening is exactly as you say..make the call..no one tells who phoned family services..or the counciller
good luck Hun

I would go to your school counselor and let a professional handle it. Continue being her friend and be concerned for her. I would let her know you're concerned for her health physically and psychologically because of her mother. Start with the counselor and see where that goes. It is their job to report any form of abuse if they find there is any.
I would also say that contacting protective services may be a haste call. I know this sounds bad, but they may not believe you. At the same time--even though her mother is in the wrong, i'm sure she doesn't want to bear the repurcussions from her mother should they remove her from the home.
Leave it to a professional--start with the school counselor.

Call children's protective services immediately! You're right this woman is a psycho - this girl needs protection from her mother!
This is definitely a case of child abuse. How are you going to feel when your friend drops dead of malnutrition?
Call Children's protective services today. Look in the phone book or look your city up online.
God bless you for looking out for your friend.

That is really disgusting. You should go to your school's counselor and then they will handle it from there. Help you friend out! That's a form of child abuse.
