Oh Jesus!
I can't even fathom how many health problems she already has and how many more are on the horizon for her if she doesn't drop a lot of weight. Is it possible for a child to have a massive coronary?
"She has written so well, and marvellously well, that I was completely ashamed of myself as a writer...But this girl, who is to my knowledge very unpleasant and we might even say a high-grade bitch, can write rings around all of us who consider ourselves as writers"
Ernest Hemingway on writer, aviation pioneer and horse trainer Beryl Markham
How about a report on the parents instead of the girl? How can they love her and let her get like this?
oh my god. I couldnt even watch the wholel thing. That is soo disgusting. You know, parents get their kids taken off them for neglict, how is this different? Thoes parents neglicted this child by overfeeding her and putting her health and life at risk. They should have lost custody a long time ago. Why would a parent do that? Why would they let their kid eat themselves to death? this kid cant even walk anymore. Disgusting. The parents should be held responsible for this. Its just as bad as starving the kid or abusing it, as they put her life in danger.





Poor child.

Exactly what I was thinking.oh my god. I couldnt even watch the wholel thing. That is soo disgusting. You know, parents get their kids taken off them for neglict, how is this different? Thoes parents neglicted this child by overfeeding her and putting her health and life at risk. They should have lost custody a long time ago. Why would a parent do that? Why would they let their kid eat themselves to death? this kid cant even walk anymore. Disgusting. The parents should be held responsible for this. Its just as bad as starving the kid or abusing it, as they put her life in danger.
The parents should be thrown in jail for child abuse and neglet.
If they had a child that they starved and who was malnourished, they would be in custody immediatly. Feeding her to death is just as bad.
It wouldn't load for me for some reason, but I found it on YouTube as well.
That is INSANE. I feel so sorry for that girl. Even if she does lose a significant amount of weight, she will never be remotely healthy or look normal. So much loose skin, crazy fat and cholseterol deposits in her arteries and around her organs (visceral fat), and (read this in an article about this on another message board I frequent) the bones in her legs are deformed, so unless she gets surgery, she won't be able to walk normally even after weight loss. How her mother could allow this to get so out of control is beyond me. She's basically killed her...or at least, killed her chances at having a normal, healthy life.
What I'm still puzzled over though, is why a Cheburashka video clip came up on the "related videos" list for this. LOL, WTF?![]()
How does something like this happen? I mean, I've seen fat kids, but this is incredible neglect. I can't believe someone hasn't done something about this poor baby and the abuse that her parents have put on her by overfeeding her. It makes me so sad.![]()
Oh my god, that's horrible. ;( I feel so bad for this girl. There's a young girl that lives by my bf that has a similar problem. She is probably 12 and 250-300 lbs. It makes me sad![]()
I believe you Dottie and you have my support





How can someone gain 200 lbs in 2 years, is my big thing? Is it really neglect or is there seriously something wrong with her body? Although her parents should have gone to a hospital much sooner either way... I doubt it has to do with what she was eating. All you saw her eat in the entire video was a banana and pasta... I mean, I'm sure they must have been helping her somehow.
People just don't gain 200 lbs. in 2 years from just a bad diet.

There IS a genetic disorder that makes people eat and eat uncontrolably... but I forget what it's called. You'd think that news report would go into the story more than "Hey, look how fat this chick is! She has to scoot around on her butt because she can't walk!" Ugh, lame! They're completely exploiting that girl.
If you think school is hard, try being stupid.
^^^ true. But it is still the parent responsibility to make sure she isnt eating uncontrolably. I mean, put locks on the fridge if you have to, but it is still a parents job to keep their child safe and healthy.





Thyroid failing? If those were her parents (legs never faces) they looked chubby but not obese.
FYI food is a bad idea as a reward for good behaviour, or to make a child feel "happy".
I definately think that this is a hormonal imbalance. Thyroid disorders have been linked to morbid obesity due to the fact that you store everything away. Kids have high metabolisms that make even the laziest couch potatoes unable to get past basic obesity.
God, I hate the rise in obesity. I've taken care of more 300+ lb people that I care to even think about. How the fuck do you get that fat? Beer-battered everything through a gavage tube? Hormonal disorders only account for a small percentage! I seriously hurt my back taking care of some of these people. Just rolling them over is a chore. It's really gross. They have yeast growing in their skin folds, they stink because you can't wash them effectively, their skin breaks down from being stretched, and they just keep on eating. It's one thing to lug your own lard around, it's another to subject others to lugging your lard around for you. If others are breaking their backs to lug you around, then you'd damn well better put down that stack of cheeseburgers.
It's really sad that there are so many morbidly obese people that hospitals have to purchase special CTs, MRIs, hospital beds, wheelchairs, and operating tables. Hydraulic lifts are available, but they're slow, can fall over, it's hard to hitch them into the harness, etc.
This girl was on Maury some years back when I actually used to watch him. I think she was 3 or 4 at the time. It's not neglect, over-feeding, or anything like that. She's got some kind of health issues. They'd even sent her to a special facility to try to encourage some weight loss, but she'd GAINED instead.
It's more of what KJ is saying that's the cause.
Very sad.





Oh yeah. lots of nurses and I Doc in my family I have heard a lot on this subject. I did see a show where they were taking care of a morbidly obese woman. She was complaining about pains in her side. Sooooooooo (Stop reading if you have eaten recently) Four nurses roll her over. She's now on oxygen because her own weight is smothering her (positional asphyxia) and the Doctor is having a look. The Doctor is talking about bed sores and finds............... A tv remote embedded in a roll of fat............... Yep she tells them sheepishly that she lost it and has been watching the same channel for weeks.![]()
When I was a nurse I took care of a 700 lb woman. We went there once. She was homebound (obviously) they sent 2 nurses over, and we only went once because the other nurse pulled her back muscle, and our company refused to send us over anymore.
I couldn't watch that whole video, but I did catch the part of her being 200 lbs at age five. They needed to take serious action then. Her parents are cruel, they have nothing better to do than sit around and videotape her not being able to walk? Take her to a doctor for christ's sake! Hire a nutritionist! And either stop buying food or lock the cabinets!





I saw her on the Maury show when she was 5 and weighed around 200 lbs. It's so sad-she's missing out on all the fun of being a kid because of her weight. That video wasn't very helpful-I wish they would've said if she has some sort of medical problem or if her weight is just a result of massive overeating.
And yeah, nice parenting-NOT! How can parents sit back and let a kid get this big? If they don't do something to help her soon, she's going to die. They need to take her to see a specialist.





This is disgraceful. What sort of a shit life is this poor child going to have?
My mum is a nurse and one of her co-workers was complaining that her 8 month old baby has not being reaching milestones such as crawling. Apparently doctors have told this woman (who is obese herself as is her husband) that her 8 month old is seriously overweight.
Disgraceful and as a nurse she should dam well know better.
I agree there must be something physically happening with her, but it has been exacerbated by severe stupidity.
In high school I had a friend whose mom was morbidly obese. She couldn't get around the house and whatnot. One time I went out to pick up dinner for her with my friend and another girl. We were in the drive through line at Steak 'N Shake when she told me "It's really sad. She's tried everything to lose weight." The other girl, her best friend was like, "Yeah, it's true. She has." They said this as they were purchasing her a triple bacon cheeseburger, a large fries, an onion ring and a large coke. I am not even kidding.




I really can think of nothing to say about this. Just sad.
Guy #1: I'd totally hit that.
Guy #2: Dude, I'd hit that so hard whoever could pull me out would become the King of England.





I just hope someone or something can help her get better .



No, when a kid is that big there is probably an underlying medical problem.
400lbs isn't normal even for a grown male.
