S.C. case looks on child obesity as child abuse. But is it? (USAtoday)
By letting the state remove a child who have been eaten behind his parents back, the behavior industry has got a open door to earn more money based on the parents fear.
The message could be:
You can see that your child is overeating and the authorities is standing in front of your house just waiting to place the child in fostercare. We can take the child to our boarding school where we can provide a structured, safe environment, starve the child and provide therapy, so you avoid loosing your child to the state.
While leaving the child on free could risk his life, it must be the only option for families. Just think of the consequences if the court rule that the child should be removed from his home. How many children will suffer the same fate or be sent to programs to avoid state involvement?
But it is a difficult cause because all can see that his overweight will shorten his life.
the kid in question is thought to have some medical problem, so they are not just persecuting him and his mother for his being overweight, they are persecuting them for their lack of supernaturally healing powers.
The family is poor and black. THAT is the instigator of this gross injustice, along with the corruption of the authorities involved, who have financial ties to the prison they want to lock this poor boy in.
