Fox News - An eight-year-old Ohio boy who weighs more than 200 pounds was taken from his family last month and placed in foster care after social workers said his mother was not doing enough to control his weight, The Plain Dealer reported. The third grader is considered severely obese by the standards of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, putting him at risk of developing diseases like diabetes and hypertension. The boy was taken out of his home on Oct. 19, according to The Plain Dealer. He is currently in foster care, and his mother can see him once a week for two hours. The case will be heard in court next month, The Plain Dealer reported. Cuyahoga County officials who were monitoring the child's health said the child's weight was caused by his environment and his mother was ignoring doctor's orders on food and exercise, the newspaper reported.
I don’t know where in Ohio this took place, but it must have been in the most rural area imaginable, because I can for sure tell you that any state health inspector that took one step inside your average White Hen pantry and saw the lard-ass innercity youths that reside at their candy counter, would have a fucking field day just shipping these tubby-tweens off to Ben Stillers fat camp.
Legit, I thought shit was bad back when I was 9 and was running a mean $2 tab with my local Ice Cream truck driver because of my borderline dependence on airheads and Sugardaddy’s (anyone who ever told you they knew the flavor of the white “mystery flavor" airhead was full of shit, no one knew, not even the makers, that’s why they never told us what it was), but that’s nothing compared to the fatso's today. I was legit in the store one time picking up an Arnie Palmer tall boy and some tubby actually asked me if he could have a dollar to buy candy. That’s how bad it is, 300 lb kids walking around with diabeetus so bad Walter Brimley would be proud, asking complete strangers to buy them candy. Shits crazy.So what I'm saying is...I honestly forget what I'm saying here...But kids today are FAT, and if we're going to take this one kid away, we've got to take 'em all away.
