Charge Parents of Obese Children with Abuse

The Hole Would Be Healther –

July 26, 2019 – People would take to the streets, demanding change. These children need our help, they would scream. But the words obese and abused are interchangeable. Obese children are abused. Hear me out. Child abuse is when a parent or caregiver, whether through action or inaction, causes injury, death, emotional harm or risk of serious harm to a child. It’s much more than “just” acts of physical violence; it’s any form of maltreatment by an adult that is violent or threatens the child. This includes neglect.

Displaying a clear unwillingness to meet a child’s basic needs — food, shelter, clean water, a safe environment — is a form of child abuse. Taking any intentional action that poses a threat to a child’s life or physical or mental well-being is child abuse. Abuse comes in many forms, and any parent who willfully allows their child to become obese may very well be guilty of abuse. After all, it constitutes a failure to act in a way that protects the welfare of a child.
