This Witch doesn't burn
|
https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-new...hs-17-13069202
A boy aged just 10 who weighs 17 stone fears he faces death if he cannot beat his food addiction. Terrified Kyon Fritz Marriott, who is believed to be Britain’s most obese primary school child, said he feels like a “slave” to his weight and his out-of-control eating. He is afraid to go outside and is in the grip of such helpless cravings he routinely binges in his family’s bathroom on crisps and chocolate he has stolen from the kitchen. In an anguished plea the lad, who stands 5ft 1in and has a 47in waist, says: “I just want to be a normal 10-year-old. I just want help.” But his desperate mother accuses the NHS of letting him down and says shrinking funding means he won’t get the help he needs to save his life.

They will fund a gastric band procedure after he turns 12 at a cost of 10,000 the weight loss camp would cost half of that, is this a good use of NHS funding?
I suspect someone will step in and pay for the camp, but are they successful in keeping the weight off afterwards?

There is that aspect as well, at 10 she controls the food that is brought into the house, it is a bit of vicious circle I suspect he comfort eats due to the bullying and he is bullied because of his size

Poor kid and family. I dont think surgery is the answer, he needs educating about healthy foods and exercise, lots of exercise.

I can't believe they would consider that even at 12, he won't be anywhere close to stopping growing so seems odd that they would offer surgical intervention that could need re-doing when he grows? He needs to face his problems, change his lifestyle and live a normal childhood and if there is help available to get that for him then he should be offered it. I feel after this article though, someone will step up and fund it. Mum needs to also look what food she brings into the house although if she has other kids at "normal" weights she will feel like she is depriving them of treats but she needs to make changes too

If they can pay for cosmetic surgery - facelifts and breast implants included - for ugly, wannabe-rich and famous tarts such as Josie Cunningham and millions of pounds for methadone for Heroin Addicts and treatments for alcoholics, then they SHOULD fund treatment for this kid who at 10 years of age bears NO responsibility for his STUPID and IGNORANT mother's lack of parental responsibility.
Child abuse and neglect are not confined to physical ACTIONS but also INACTION.

So he had already had a nine month course paid for by the NHS, it worked at the time but then he piled more weight on.
His mother needs to take more responsibility, don’t buy crisps, chocolate or his favourite food that she piles high, instead she should try taking him for walks to the park and getting him interested in something that keeps his mind busy and off food. Boot camp works....for the time you are there, then when it stops, it’s back to the old routine. My cousin paid 10 grand, as soon as he came back it all went by the wayside and he ended up heavier than before he went. Last edited by smudgie; 12-08-2018 at 08:49 AM. |

OK so I'm not oversimplifying this - I know that people with eating disorders, if they want to, will find a way to overeat... But...
Why are there crisps and chocolate in the kitchen in the first place. There's literally no point sending this poor kid anywhere unless the whole family commits to a complete change of lifestyle. Last edited by Toy Soldier; 12-08-2018 at 09:02 AM. |

Who, Douglas?

The mother should stop blaming the NHS and other people and look at herself. That child is 10 years old.

Allowing your 10 year old to get to 17stone is child abuse, the parent's need to accept responsibility and make some changes

The money would be well spent on parenting classes as much as anything else.

I havent read in to this at all, and I might its pretty interesting
..but my initial thought is that they are a health service, and i doubt ‘fat camps’ are actually a healthy way to lose weight? His mother that keeps buying unhealthy food for him to binge in the bathroom should probably look closer to home until he’s 12

That is so stupid, a ten year old has no money to buy enough food to stuff himself to 17 stone. They just need to get him into some classes, like swimming/rugby etc.. and give him normal meals for a ten year old.
