CMV:I think letting your kid get fat is child abuse.

Obviously I wouldn't call it child abuse if it was due to an illness or disease like a thyroid problem and I'll also leave teenagers out of this argument even tho I'd still argue that's child abuse ide argue that teenagers have more free will and are harder to control.

there's no denying that child hood obesity is a growing problem that never even existed not that long ago. Diabetes type 2 used to be. Called adult onset diabetes because it was unheard of in children. Children are dying Because of this. The fact children are being exposed to such unnecessary suffering is unforgivable in my eyes. If you watch documentaries like fed up you'll see clear examples of parents who know for a fact that if they don't get there child to lose weight they'll die possibly in the near future and they don't even make a serious attempt sure they sort of try but not hard enough if I was a parent and I got told my child was gonna die due to obesity die make it my life mission to get him to lose that weight.

Childhood obesity is easily preventable and we all know what's causing it so why do we allow it. There's been a couple of cases of people not being allowed to adopt kids because  they're to fat and were not going to allow them to over feed an innocent child. This proves that we already know it's wrong and it's bad parenting so why do we let it happen.

Also as any fat person will tell you learning to eat healthy and lose the weight once your in the habit is one of the hardest things you'll ever do in your life. People get so stuck in there ways a lot of fat people don't even ever make a serious attempt in there life.

I'm not saying we instantly take children away from there parents because they're fat I know that can cause more sycological damage than they already have. But the parents should be councils and guided in the right direction, given the information they need to help there child and be monitored. I only think children should be taken away in the most extreme circumstances like I read a story a while back about a child who died due to obesity and the parent got no punishment whatsoever when it's at the points the child could actually die from this they need to be taken away otherwise fines, mandatory parenting classes and monetering should be enough.

Id just like to add I don't have a problem with fat people if your an adult that's your choice to eat shit all day but seeing the fat parents with there fat children in Burger King upsets me to me it would be the same as seeing an 8 year old smoking.

There is a difference between parenting that is not ideal and child abuse. 

Child abuse involves **intentionally** harming the child. 

While being obese does increase **odds** of disease, it's not like those disease are anywhere guranteed. 

Also, letting children overeat is rarely  intentional.  Now if you had a situation where parents INTENTIONALLY force fed their child to "fatten him up" you would have a case for abuse.

You don't want to declare EVERY suboptimal parenting style "abuse," because you will get on a slippery slope pretty fast.

Is letting your child taking skiing lessons abuse? What about playing football? What about driving your child in any type of car other than a large mini-wan? What about driving your child AT All?

All of these significantly increase injury risk for the child and are "easily preventable."
