I was just thinking, when my mum was younger she hated food! Properly detested it, the only thing she would eat was Angel Delight. My Great-Grandma took my mother to the doctors as she'd brought up numerous other children none of which had eating problems. The doctor told my Granny she was fine as long as she was eating something. So did the doctor condone and encourage child abuse? Should my mum have been taken from a very competent Guardian and placed in care?

I can't imagine it helping the child much emotionally if he was removed from his home and family.

Hopefully, but eight years is a long time. How long would it have gone on for, another eight years, until he was thirty stone?

I can't really comment as I didn't see the programme, but I did see her interviewed on the news at lunchtime, and she just came across as a silly cow, who was killing her son with her version of kindness.

I can appreciate that depression is a terrible thing but she can be bothered to make him the processed rubish, it doesn't take much more effort to peel some veg.

The other thing that wound me up was why she'd let him get so big, that amount of weight is gradual it doesn't just appear over night!

I agree. I don't think taking the little boy into care is fair on the boy. As well as being overweight and a victim of bullying, it's like he's being punished by being removed from his Mum's care because of her lack of skills as a parent.

Its quite surprising that the ignorance here is all about her cooking skills gee we aint all master class!!! But you would all moan if a seriously abused child was missed from social services inspections because they were too concerned with smaller un necessary incidents that tbh theres is a big number of over weight children in the UK in creasing massively so all of them should be looked into also

. I think education, learning cooking properly at schools is just as important as pe & if processed stuff is necessary then it be improved, think all this is way over the top!

even if you wired up teh kids jaw a bet this mother would slush up KFC and pizas and given them to it through a straw

our govenment keeps trying to promote healthy living but it costs a lot more to eat healthy

health is a thing for people who are well off after i was told to change my eating habbits i went out with a list of things from my doctor that were good and bought them for me , my partner and my child and the weekly shopping bill more than doubled

fortunatley i am not realy poor but i would hate to be in teh shoes of a single parent with a couple of kids trying to buy fresh fruit, fresh veg and decent meat and hope to be able to put some electricity and gas in teh meter each week

She can cook. She chooses to make him a full English fry up every morning, plate fulls of sausage sadwiches to eat between meals whilst he's on his PlayStation, as well as things like curry and chips.

Absolute bollox! That is every cop-outs excuse I'm afraid chav and it doesn't stand up any more.

Instead of this form of abuse, she'd took a photograph of him in the bath, he'd have been took into care in a flash.

grego · 27-02-2007, 16:15

I dont think its her cooking skills, just her mentality.

That's rubbish. I know how much you spend on takeaways and fast food.

Eating healty isn't expensive, in many cases it's a lot cheaper if you buy the ingredients fresh and cook a meal from scratch, and it's better for you than all those ready to cook meals.
