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.

Here's the video:

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

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.

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.
