  1. I despise the way that this stupid, stupid mother says "He always ate...." as though the kid had the option to stuff himself stupid without her assistance. He was a pig and YOU were a cowardly, weak willed, confrontation avoiding enabler. She should be charged with child abuse.

  2. Agree totally.

  3. He could go without food for 6 months and he wouldn't die so long as he got water. But no, I would not stop him eating for a week. I'd feed him normal size portions, and I would never, ever give in to his temper tantrums. Each time he tried, I'd take something else from his plate. He'd learn quickly enough. I'd also force him to exercise every single day.

  4. I don't care about his mom's feelings. She is a child abuser.

  5. His Mom NEEDS judging - preferably in a court of law.

  6. So it IS exactly what I said then. She either ALLOWS him to eat to much or she feeds him because she is weak. Either way completely her fault.

  7. You said that we should not judge his mom because we have feelings. I was suggesting that she should be prosecuted for child abuse. But you seem think that no matter how dumb or horrible you are, nobody should judge you because you have feelings. That's ridiculous.

  8. You remind me of a Muslim apologist trying to justify the murder of children and the oppression of women. This boy DOES NOT have an eating disorder. He has a greed disorder and a mother too weak and stupid to stop feeding him. At the start of the piece it clearly says that he has to go on a crash diet. You can't crash diet a medical condition away. If she can't find a way to keep food out of his fat hands, then it really is time for her to lose the child. The trouble is, you're sooo desperate to virtue signal your empathy and anti-bullying SJW colours that you make excuses which, if listened to, would definitely kill this boy. You then go on to cry crocodile tears about how the most likely cause of this kid's death will be suicide. All the while enabling the behaviour with your excuses that lead to his misery. You remind me of these people who weigh 400 pounds and try to convince the world that big is beautiful, even as the cellulite hangs off your flabby thighs. Why do I hate fat so much? Because it's repugnant. Because it's self inflicted. Because society pays for it. Because it's a tangible sign of decadence, indulgence and laziness. There's NOTHING to like about obesity and everything to dislike. People like YOU are what is wrong with this world. I'll do you the courtesy of assuming your good intent, even though is by no means certain, but even if I assume that, the feeble excuses you are making for this pathetic woman's dire parenting, contrary to the facts, are just abysmal. 21st century liberalism at its worst. I work with kids. Shitty parents make shitty kids ALWAYS. Of the thousands, maybe tens of thousand of kids I've worked with, I never met ONE who had great parents but was a shitty kid. So yeah, I've got parenting issues. I despise shitty parents. And what the hell does my race have anything to do with the issue?

  9. Stupid people like you would sooner care about the feelings of this abusive mother than the child's well being? Typical social justice warrior.

  10. You don't logic very well do you? Best to leave the grown up conversations to the adults. Here's some crayons, see if you can at least colour without going over the edges of the lines.

  11. Nom nom nom - gives everything flava! ;-)

  12. No, she quite specifically said that she cannot deny him food when he asks because he throws temper tantrums. She's a weak, shitty mother and he eats too much. He'll be dead before he reaches adulthood and she should be in prison. No matter what possible condition he has (and he doesn't have anything) he STILL has to ingest the calories to put on that much mass. |If she'd stand up to him and be a grown up, he'd be far happier in the long run.

  13. Absolute nonsense. She even says that she simply can't turn him down. Don't be an apologist for a wilful child abuser. If she was punching him you wouldn't make excuses but this is far worse.
