Liberal Media Ponders Merits of Putting Fat Kids in Foster Homes

“Should morbidly obese kids be put in foster care?” That’s what CBS News wants readers to tell them, because taking kids with serious health issues away from their parents doesn’t seem to pose a problem to the State-Run Media.
CBS, of course, says it’s not their idea, but they’re sure running with it and making more of a case for it than against it.
“Childhood obesity can be seen as a failure to adequately care for your children by failing to provide a healthy diet and sufficient activity, whether through direct neglect or more subtly through an inability to deny children the pleasures of energy dense fast food and television viewing,” wrote the study’s lead author Russell Vine in a paper published in the British Medical Journal.
According to the Los Angeles Times, there are already reports of children being removed from homes in America for health risks and the British report sites 20 cases in the United Kingdom.
But what does it mean for American children, who are increasingly dangerously overweight. Nearly twenty percent of kids aged 6 to 19 are obese, according to the Centers of Disease Control.
Summing-up his “what-if” article, CBS’ Neil Katz offers his open-ended opinion, stating, “That’s an awful lot of kids to put in foster care.”
It sure is Neil, but we bet you’re giddy about the federal government making yet another grand intrusion in to the lives of families that will spare them from the greatest threat of all — themselves.
