The family is getting an intervention. I wonder what they will end up doing with her.

Damn.
Usually "failure to thrive" is used to describe underweight children. Considering that childhood obesity is just as (if not more) harmful, it would seem that allowing your child to become 300lbs at the age of 5 should be considered child abuse in the same manner that not providing enough food is.
Those parents (that parent) need(s) to be able to tell that 5 year old "no," or that kid needs to go into protective services.
I seriously question a society that allows people like that to pop out babies.
