It makes me wonder if the parents of these children actually spend any time doing activities with their kids. Playing football, going swimming, going on a bike ride etc are all great ways for parents to keep fit too but these days it seems that work/pub comes before some parents which is a shame. If parents are lazy then the child is bound to become lazy also.
Looking at the girls story she says "Chocolate is the only thing I’m interested in. It’s the only thing I live for.” This is another story where the mother claims to "lock the kitchen door with a padlock" yet the child finds the key.
I know this story is in the Sun which raises eyebrows in itself but some of the lines this child has suppose to of said are shocking. She gets a tenner a week pocket money and the mother lets her spend it ALL on chocolate.
"I’m just not interested in spending my money on DVDs, toys or pretty clothes like other little girls. From the moment I get up to the moment I go to bed I think about Galaxy bars.
“I know I’m addicted to it but it’s so creamy and yummy that I can’t stop eating it. I love it.
“All I have to do is see an advert on the telly and I start screaming that I want it now. If my mum won’t buy it, I’ll find a way of getting it myself.
Looking at the mother aswell she isn't the slimest of ladies so maybe she could look at her own health aswell as her childs. Plus back to the boys story someone mentioned she was smoking while cooking which I personally think isn't setting a good example to the child. I was brought up with the parents "being in charge" these days the child seems to run the house and demand things...parents are being too soft.
