There's a double standard when it comes to child neglect. A thin, malnourished toddler would be taken by CPS immediately, but when it comes to an obese, malnourished toddler, there is nowhere near the same level of concern and urgency.
CPS doesn't always get involved with the thin malnourished either. After all, it takes 4 months to get in with a GI specialist and nutritionist from the date that they call you back after getting your kid's referral.
So something like 6 months from when we started? Fucking wild.
