How do you let your 6 year old child weigh 400 pounds??????

Drolefille 02-16-2007 12:41 PM

yeah, the HOW of that is completely baffling me. That is child abuse.

That's the little girl I posted about in that childhood weight surgery thread on here.

The other thread wasn't about her. She was just an aside. Your thread is fine. :)

If I'm not mistaken, I believe I saw this little girl on Maury not too long ago. She looks so familiar to me. But yes, the parents should be shot. That's just ridiculous. 400 lbs at that age? Adults shouldn't even weigh that much.:(

Seriously, WTF is wrong with this kids parents?

Before blaming the parents, I wonder if she has a medical condition such as Prader Willi Syndrome?

What were her parents feeding her - buckets of lard and bags of sugar??

James 02-16-2007 07:47 PM

It doesn't seem so. When I read the show summaries they haven't said anything about thats.

They just actually hospitalized the girl and didn't say anything about that. And its an obvious thing to test for.

I think its just an extreme example of really bad parenting.

Without any other news article to give details, there's no mention of any sort of condition causing her weight problems and no indication that the parents, upon realizing that such a condition existed, did jack crap about it.

Gee Mommy and Daddy, ever think that it shouldn't take a hospital stay (for breathing difficulty!) to tell you your daughter needed help? Or was the fact that she was rolling because she was too fat to walk too subtle for you.

She could have an aleptinemia, because Prader Willi's often hoard food anywhere they can get it... Whereas, I imagine it would be tough for her to get around being 400 lbs, approximately 7-12 years old and rolling around. Maybe she just rolled fast...

I have a disturbing mental image of a 400lb roller chasing down someone holding the box of cookies or something.

Phigirl04 02-17-2007 03:55 PM

I can't believe these parents let it get so bad and that no one stepped in before the child got to 400lbs. These parents should not be allowed to have children. I just can't imagine letting this happen if I had a child.
