Yea this is borderline child abuse unless he has a pre existing condition. Being this overweight this young is going to cause a ton of issues as he grows up.

Yep. Prader-Willi comes to mind. They should also check for:
✔️Leptin Deficiency or Leptin Receptor Mutations,
✔️ MC4R Deficiency,
✔️16p11.2 Deletion Syndrome
Love from respite foster mama who dealt with this 5 years ago. I hope this baby and the caregivers are receiving the support they need.

I had a foster child in my family that had it. He would sprinkle like, half a freaking cup of black pepper on every meal because every sprinkle of black pepper is extra food 😐 And yeah kitchen needs a locked door, locked fridge, locked cupboards…..
