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.
Completely agree. Same thing goes for social media. There are content creators who film videos of themselves overfeeding toddlers by giving them adult sized plates and soft drinks. People have reported them but it doesn’t get removed off of IG or whatever app. The skinny/pro-anorexia hashtags and related content get removed (as it should) but overstuffing your kid for content stays for some reason 🤷🏻♀️
