I blame the mother.




I know I'm going to hell anyways so I'll put it out h.h...in the intro to that video, am I the only one who thinks she looks like a giant zit/pimple that needs to be popped?
I'm on the opposite side!!! My oldest, 2, won't eat anything.... He will have 5-8 chix nuggets, a pudding or two, 3-8 carrot sticks, some canned corn, and a few juice cups. He's weighed the same at 18 months as he does now at 27 months. They tell me he's of normal weight, but I still don't like how little he eats..![]()
Side note... that girl is big...![]()
That poor girl. What's that disease called where you are never full? Prader- Willi
Yikes...
shes killing her child "they can take away a child from a parent that hits them, but not from a parent that lets her childs health get out of control?"
I dont think shes going to get better in that enviorment, they should take her to a place where she can get better.




A 400-lb kid who almost doubled her weight between the ages of 5 and 7 has to have something wrong with her already, although that shit diet prolly doesn't help.
Who understands German?
So sad. The crap shes eating - absolute fucking rubbish. Child abuse in my book to feed a seriously obese child total crap.
Oh sweet Lord how horrible! why in the world would anyone want to see their child so unhealthy?
that poor poor baby, who could let there little girl get like that?
^^^Can this sort of thing relate at all to Munchausen Syndrome By Proxy? (I know MSP is usually about mothers making their kids sick in different ways, but really - this is a sick child isnt it?) Not nessesarilly this case, but it did cross my mind when I viewed the clip. I wish the clip had English subtitles.

I bet you that Jessica started out with a problem like thyroid dysfunction or Prader-Willi, but her mom can't stand to see her baby upset and lets her eat whatever she wants in order to assuage her own pain and guilt. This kind of spoiling is very common in parents of special needs, chronically ill, and terminally ill kids. It seems to patch up the kid's unhappiness, but it aggravates the condition and makes for a spoiled child who is even harder to treat.
400 lbs at age 7 indicates serious problems. We're all at least two heads taller than her, but would have trouble getting up to 400 lbs even if we were continuously force-fed butter through gavage tubes. Kids have faster metabolisms, which makes it harder to gain weight. I've seen some grossly obese kids, but this is on the far end of the bell curve.
That poor baby, her mother needs her arse kicked, . My kids would live on junk food if I let, them, but, thats the thing about being a parent, you do what is best for your child, which doesnt always mean what your child believes is right foir them. Even getting half that big the parent should have taken a step back and realized there was a problem, this is bullshit...
I understand some German... I think the reporter was openly against this child being allowed to be so heavy. As I think anyone would be, who wasn't there and responsible for dealing with the situation.
Plenty of kids have moms that let them eat/do whatever they want... doesn't make them end up 400 lbs. I'm sorry, but bad parenting is not responsible for this. If it were, this would not be a news story.

Fucking A! Disgusting and deadly! (yes as a smoker I'm a total hypocrite) But WHY WHY would you allow your child to suffer that awful life! Mom should go to jail, child to a place where they can love her enough to offer her help!





That makes me sad..I really do wonder if that girl will get some help.
Some Douchebag: "[Pimp C] 12:43 am: its true we got to stick together the black people on SW CK you is teh condoleeza of SW"
My German is pretty good (not as good as in undergrad, but still pretty good) and indeed, it was a tabloid-esque report (think Bild, but only televised)--just look at the footage of that kid rolling around on the floor and bouncing off of the couch.Amen, we don't know the whole story. I think that the reporter was doing it as a, "Look at the fat, lazy, stupid Americans," newscast.
Then again, look at how many of us in this country are indeed fat, lazy and stupid. Not entirely inaccurate a description.
Idealism is fine, but as it approaches reality, the costs become prohibitive.

What bothers me is that we have to have a"Fattest Kid In The World" award so people can say "At least my kid isn't THAT bad".
I mean, is this really news worthy? I mean is the story about her? Or are we trying to call attention to an obese America. Thanks for telling us that we're Overweight and Lethargic. Now do a shockingly worthy news story on the local success tales or something involving the fact that we, aren't beyond repair.
People are not ruled by their memories.




I speak German.. Gimme a sec, I'll watch it again and give you a full translation...




My translation:
This little girl might not survive to reach her next birthday. The doctors are very serious with their warnings to her mother, but her mother is simply going along as she always has. The little girl receives ten thousand calories each day in the form of fast food, sweets, and soda. Meanwhile she actually weighs 222 kilos and because of this she holds a sad record: she is the fattest child in the world. Roberta [some last name I don't understand] reports:
Five liters of soda, fifteen hamburgers with fries, several kilos of chocolate, that is Jessica's meal plan, and probably also her death sentence. What other children receive in half a year, this seven-year-old eats in one day, with terrible consequences. Already an unbelievable 110 Kilos at her last doctor's visit four years ago, and this is how she looks today, at 222 Kilos. She scooches across the floor, she cannot walk anymore, and can only get on the sofa with great effort. "After pulling myself onto the chair at the table, I'm totally exhausted." She is guilty of the condition of her daughter. The mother Carolyn gives her seven year old whatever she asks for: white bread and chips for breakfast, and with it, a few liters of soda, and the child always wants more. "Already after her birth in the first weeks, she cried a lot. The doctor said she had a stomach ache, but she was so hungry. I gave her a bottle, she kept crying, I gave her another one, but she could just never get enough and was always hungry."
The health consequences are terrifying: her bones have been deformed by the enormous weight. When she wants to dance for us, sitting, she is exhausted after a few seconds. We ask her, "Do you like to dance?" "Yes, but I always lose my breath." A few experts have tried to help Jessica, without success. The child was still receiving far too many calories from her mother, and kept getting fatter. Doctors say that if she doesn't immediately make a change, she will not make it to her next birthday. "If the mother is incapable or unwilling to make the change that is necessary for Jessica's survival, then it is a matter of life and death."
Every other mother should take this child as a warning. Carolyn seems to have not fully understood the doctors. "My daughter just likes to eat, that's not anything bad," she says, and keeps feeding her daughter with sweets, fat, and white bread. One only asks himself, "how much longer?"
There you are! It's not a very elegant translation, but that's what it says!![]()
That's just child abuse.
They're giving her 10,000 calories a day!![]()
Found this story:
Seven-year-old Jessica Gaude differs greatly from her pals. With 222 kilograms, she is the fattest child in the world.
She eats 10,000 calories each day in Coca-Colas, 15 hamburgers with fries and several kilograms of chocolate. What she eats in one day some children eat in half a year. Her breakfast consists of white bread, potato chips and two litres of coke. And she wants more.
When she last visited the doctor four years ago she had 110 kilograms. Unfortunately, she can no longer run and instead of walking she drags herself on the floor. Under such bodily weight her bones have already become distorted.
Mother Carolyn gives her daughter whatever the child wants. In the first week after she was born, when the baby cried because of stomach pains, the mother calmed her by feeding her with a bottle because she thought the child was hungry. “I gave her the bottle and she wanted more and more. It was not enough for her and she was constantly hungry”, Jessica’s mother says.
The doctors warn that the child’s health is already dangerously at risk and could die if not treated.
Unfortulately, Jessica’s mother does not understand medicine, her child is prescious to her and continues to feed her sweets.
Odd, that the kid is American, and yet I cannot find any English videos.
It was a report from Germany on how bad American kids eating habits have become..
( at least, that's what Im gathering from bits and pieces Im finding in searches)
I remember seeing her on Montel before....
Ok...Lola translated same time I was posting what I found, LOL
