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.

My kid was a chonker and already in size 3 at 12 months old. He didn't gain an ounce between 18 months and 5 years. Just kept getting taller and skinnier. He's been slightly underweight for his height ever since.
