[A Mum arrested for letting her 11-year-old son
balloon to 15st says she calls him Wee Chubby — and blames his weight gain on his genes. The woman and her husband were interviewed by police after doctors raised concerns over the boy’s welfare. Cops visited their house and the dad spent 50 minutes in a cell. But the couple claim they have been trying to keep the boy slim. And his 20st father insisted: “My son’s always been big. Everyone on my side of the family is.” The 5ft 1in youngster has a body mass index of 41.8 — close to double the healthy level. Meanwhile his 15st bulk is nearly three times the safe weight for a boy his age and height. He has confessed that he wants to slim down after his size saw him banned from horse rides with pals during a school trip. Now his parents say they are terrified they will lose him to a residential school.] http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage...g-fat-kid.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...wellbeing.html ![]() This is a mess Last edited by arista; 06-06-2014 at 07:28 AM. |
