Thats like deliberate over feeding.

Maybe the mother, consciously or unconsciouly, enjoyed the notoriety of being "someone." Media attention can be seductive. And everyone in America seems to want their 15 seconds.

Aren't there mothers that deblierately make their kids sick for attention?
How can someone get that heavy just by a disease alone, without a tumor being involved? I mean, some major over-eating has to be going on. I think the only reason why the parents still have custody of this girl is the fact that this is a rare case. I though protective services take kids away from parents in circumstances that can be hazardous to them. They are slowly killing this kid.
