I RECENTLY SAW THE STORY OF THE BOY WHO WAS BEIN TAKEN AWAY FROM HIS PARENTS DUE TO HIS OBESITY~! I THINK THAT ABUSE AND CHILDHOOD OBESITY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH EACH OTHER AND THAT IS VERY UNFAIR~!DONT GET ME WRONG I DONT BELIEVE IN LETTING CHILDREN INDULGE IN EXCESS AMOUNT OF FOOD AND JUNK, BUT SOMETIMES A CHILD CANT CONTROL HOW BIG THEY ARE DUE TO THE FAMILY TREE~!

Yes so is indoctrinating children to believe the world is less then ten thousand years old. However I do not believe the children should be taken away. But the parents should have a good talking to and have to put there kids on a diet.

in psychology they tell you that correlation does not imply causation. i.e. you are obese. you were abused. does not mean your obesity is because of abuse.
i think obesity is a form of neglect to educate and properly nourish

I suppose if the guardian forced the child to be a fatty, sure.
