Just four months ago we knew the case of a British boy who, at 8 years old, weighed 90 kilos and that this could be a reason for him to take custody of his mother, for not feeding his son properly, he finally did not have such an outcome tremendous, but this type of situation alerts health personnel who are assessing the possibility of treating childhood obesity as negligence.
According to some British pediatricians, an obese child is not receiving adequate food and attention, the parents of these children are threatening their health and life, hence they think that A child who is obese due to poor diet is a situation of abandonment by parents.
Some 50 British doctors were consulted and they claimed that the children suffered the consequences of the neglect of their parents, recalls the situation of a ten-year-old girl who can only walk with the help of a cane because of her excessive weight, her parents are slowly killing her, she says, because they feed her with chips and fatty foods. This is an example of cases in which specialists would agree to consider parental negligence. As there are many cases, children are not aware of what is happening to them, they do not even imagine that if their parents educated and fed them properly, many health problems and the impediments they accompany could be avoided.
Later this month, the British Medical Association will discuss whether authorities should act against parents who cause their children's obesity. One of the doctors comments, “Both my colleagues and I were concerned that there are discrepancies in the way in which society, the medical profession and the courts treat an obese child in relation to how they do it with a malnourished child. "
We parents are really responsible for providing our children with a balanced and varied diet, to please them with food whims is not to make them happy, we are playing with their health, they are not aware, but we are.
Would you agree that parents be judged for the nutritional and food education they provide for their children?
