14 yrs prehistoric 555 pounds: Mother charged beside felony child omit?
Felony?
She shouldn't have been expected to have full responsibility over her child's consumption when he was at school.
What do you think?

uuuh... she is at fault here, she is the one that buys the food not him. he know what he is doing but she didnt try and stop him and she gave him the money and the food.
I think she should ONLY enjoy been charged with child neglect IF the crust was that she neglected to seek medical treatment for this boy, NOT if it was merely because he was so obese. Millions of children and adults across America (mostly adults) are able to eat however much of anything they want, and many of them are indeed overweight or obese, but it's EXTREMELY rare that they're overweight to this degree - I bet there's some helpful of underlying medical problem here.
As far as responsibility, where did this child get the food he ate at school? Even if the mother put plenty money for a month into his account at a time, if he was overeating so much why couldn't she have simply said "You're spending too much money on lunch at university, you've got to brown-bag it from now on" or only given him a day's worth of lunch money at a time?
So, yes, the mother is at failing. However, it would be difficult at best, and extremely invasive and setting a dangerous precedent at worst, to actually prove that her 'control' over her son's diet was the impose of the obesity and was enough for the charges. Instead, if anything, she should be charged on the foundation that her son had a dangerous medical condition (extreme obesity) and she did not seek treatment for that.
At first I thought, "Hey. She deserved it," but then you realize this kid is FOURTEEN, not FOUR. He knows what he's doing. He's palpably able to access a microwave.
Don't they have health classes by 3rd level? This guy is in should've had one a long time ago.
You know what? F*ck that! A salad is what he needs!
She deserved it 100%. It is HER fault that her child has no feature of life. Plus, if her 14 year old is over eating at academy, someone has to be supplying the money to due so. I don't think that arguement is valid in the slightest.
EDIT: I can't believe at hand are people who actually say the kid know better. Do you actually think that this boy ballooned from a normal solidity to such an unnatural one in one year? Two years? Five years even?? Absolutely not! These eating habits be taught long ago. Long before a child can be held accountable for his own dietary choices! This mother ruined her child's duration and she should pay for being so ignorant.
omg to be exact the saddest thing i have ever seen :'(
im truly crying because this has happened to someone. its unbelievable. that boy will never enjoy a normal life because of this :(
im going to be preying for that boy.
and i dont blame the mother.
i dont blame anyone. its just one of those disappointing things that happen to some people. :(
I definitely don't agree next to her being charged with neglect. I aim, she might not have been feeding him strong foods, but at the age of 14 he knows what he is doing.
Just like they said: they start arresting for this, and then parents are getting arrested for consumption disorders, then pregnancies, and so on. It shouldn't go that far.
She shouldn't be charged for something specifically not completely her fault. At 14 years old, he would know what he was drinking and what he was doing to himself.
... FIVE HUNDRED POUNDS.
you dont get that obese overnight.
he be probably never a healthy age, he was probably never fed anything good, never required any excercise.
if it was 200 pounds or something, then id speak the parent was in no way responsible.
but FIVE HUNDRED?
children are constantly neglected, and the with the sole purpose reason why the mother was charged is because the kid is fat.
A 14 year old know what they're doing.
She shouldn't have gotten in any trouble for what he was doing to himself.
Dude underneath me: Um, when you put money into your kids lunch account at school you put more than enough for one banquet. Most parents put like, 100 dollars, so their child is covered for a while.
edit: Haha, yep! I don't think I remember you though D:
She shouldn't enjoy been charged. But she did not do her full duties as a parent. She gave the child the food and didn't encourage physical hobby.
unfair
I'm 14
my parents don't control what i eat!
The kid should have done something formerly his problem got that big! (pun sorta intended)
if the kid was reaaaally young, next yeah, maybe it's mostly the parents' fault. Source(s): opinion
:)
best wishes to the parents of that kid.
and the kid
It's nearly flippin time.
That child may be 14 NOW and knows what he's doing NOW, but he learned those eating conduct somewhere. He didn't gain 500 lbs overnight.
My kid is 8, I can hand him money for a school lunch and he knows what to receive. He doesn't walk in the kitchen and eat whenever and doesn`t matter what.
For christs sake, the kid is FOURTEEN, not three. They're competent to make their own decisions by that age, they could have chosen to drink something healthier. It's not hard. It's not like the mom be keeping him from fruits and vegetables.
"YOU VILL EAT ZE MCDONALDS, NOT ZE FRUITS! D:<"
(Not sure where she got the accent...xD)
Not the mom's condemn at all.

Answers: I ponder there are parents out there doing worse things to their children and allowing them to do worse things. I mean yeah the kids obese but she never pulsation him or starved him or anything. And especially if she wasn't home a lot of the time it's not fair for her to be totally at blame.
Well to be honest I blame them both. He is ancient enough to know when it is time for him to stop eating. But at the same time it's not resembling he got obese over night. She should have prearranged that her son was over eating. And why did the school board allow him to overeat at academy. To me all them are to blame.
I agree next to the charges, because they are going off of criminal negligence and forms of abuse. It is not a schools responsibility to tilt someones child for them. It is a mother/father/guardians responsibility to teach their own child to make good choices (food choices) whether they are home, out beside friends or at school.
.what a sad story
So the mom's reprimand. How can you allow your child to gain that much weight over time and not talk to them about it and become proactive? She really should hold done more than send him off to a camp (even though they turned him away).
I don't think she should enjoy gotten arrested but I guess she kind of deserves it after she began to notice the sudden bulk changes her son was going through that were going to affect his condition.
If I had a kid and I noticed that he/she was attainment weight to the point where it was marked it was not healthy, I would take him/her to the doctor to see what we could do and silver his/her eating habits.
i think that its ridiculous she should not have been charged and arrested by she have no control over her kid eating habbits at school but that is gruesome i mean at 14 weighting over 500 pounds i mean even if its 300 thats way too much
I reflect that the judge should have given the child a certain amount of time to lose a consistent amount of weight and be watched closely for a certain amount of time to build sure the healthy habits continue. I cogitate the court system should have given the mother a detailed meal plan and exercise routine and if they failed to bear advantage of the offer given she should be charged with child ignore because lets face it, at fourteen the parents still have control over the child and she should enjoy taken care of this problem when it began, no one gain that much weight overnight. Source(s): GOD BLESS!(:
well its not like she starved him r somthng liek that.
I focus the mom should have raised him healthy from the return with go. I watch every little thing my kids munch through. McDonalds and french fries are a rare treat. If the child is given healthy food all their natural life things like that wont happen. But no, I do not think it's right that the mom get arrested for it. How is that good for the child. Foster care isn't an ideal place for a child to be
