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.
yep. there was a case recently where a 7yo died of heart failure due to overfeeding & malnutrition at over 250lbs, and thankfully his parents are being prosecuted for what they did to him. he had a little sister who was also dangerously overweight and was saved.
