Am I Spoiling My Child Rotten? (Childhood Obesity Documentary)

[@magenta13]

The kid wasn't even asking for food, mom kept offering. Crazy!

[@ebagentj]

He also didn't seem to want to use his chair, she just kept offering it to him until he sat in it. He seemed to have no objections with walking around, and was even running around just fine. As others have said here, the mother seems to have a mental illness where she's forcing her child to be helpless, and what she's doing is abuse, plain and simple.

[@koolaidman6251]

Children have good instincts. When they are full they don't want to eat. They are also naturally active creatures -- they love to run and jump and play. Even in countries where children have very little food to eat, the children still run and jump and play because it is so natural!! It is a horrific tragedy to see child be stuffed with food beyond sickness and prevented from participating in active natural play.

Under feeding a child and starving a child is illegal, why is overfeeding not? And alcohol...no comment ! Just, wtf

[@SevenEllen]

Overfeeding is certainly abusing the child by depriving them of nutritional benefits that shape them up for long-term health issues. Child abuse is illegal, so, technically it's illegal - or arguably at least - but no one's done anything.

[@jessicasmith8589]

I agree its neglected a child.

[@mael2039]

I honestly am baffled that the social workers aren't more involved. Especially Leon should not have ever escalated this far. This is abuse, a five year old isn't able to buy his own food, this is 100% his mother's doing and she should have been stopped long ago. This is nothing but abuse, she's seriously handicapped her child and is slowly killing him he should have been taken away long before he ever needed a wheelchair

[@duckie.louise]

I think overfeeding would be harder to find a reasonable line for. There are also real genetic disorders that cause kids to be bottomless pit starving nonstop. I forgot what it’s called, but if you google, you’ll find it. I forgot if there’s a treatment or not but that would really suck to have to deal with.

[@lilmizzije]

Depriving a child of food/starvation is denying them of a human right whereas overfeeding isn’t.

[@BlanceDevereaux]

Leon's mother is called a "feeder" - someone who deliberately overfeeds a vulnerable person in order to exert full control over them. It's disgusting, cruel and abusive. His wheelchair garners her sympathy and attention. If Leon was grossly underweight and staved by his mother, he would be removed. There is no difference here; he'll be dead by 25 if an intervention doesn't happen now. He should be removed from her immediately. She's hostile and aggressive.

Mom said the kid won't brush his teeth before bed. That's not an excuse.

She did this *numerous* times while my father was on a 9-month tour at sea. BY HERSELF. No babysitter. So it's not impossible. That mom's just a lazy parent.

Angelina Burke How dare you!! It’s genetics! /s

[@KyrieChii]

I really think there's something much more psychological going on with her than stupidity or denial. She knows what she's doing, & she's rendering him dependent on her. He can never 'leave' her if he can't take care of himself, & even worse, down the road, this will surely have a psychological effect on him as well... Especially socially. He already can't play with other children (which means maybe no or very few friends), & his weight is going to be a nightmare for him at school as he gets older. But that means that he can be home with his mother instead. It's also a 'control' thing. She's dangerous to him, & is willing to cause him pain/discomfort for the sake of what _she_ wants.

[@contiflex]

@@KyrieChii I dont think the stupid woman realises that her behaviour will lead to his early death, most likely before the poor child reaches the age of 10. She is selfish and stupid and Leon should be taken into care before she kills him.

To you, he may come across as arrogant and self involved, however I am also not convinced that the boys glue ear is of direct consequence of his dads smoking. The odds are definitely in favour that smoking is carcinogenic and that it can be a trigger for respatory and other issues . He did not deny this!. I Smoked from 14 - 40 and am embarrassed to say that I did in fact smoke inside and my son did get a whiff of second hand smoke on a regular basis, However, He has grow up healthy thankfully and the few stray molecules per part of one billion did not contribute towards " glue ear". I really think there are other issues here that have been left out of the equation. IMO. I really think this guy wants the best for and loves his child. You may say, well if youre not certain then why would you risk the health of your child?. Some of us humans, are just a little sick of people jumping to conclusions after joining the PC bandwagon and tend to think for ourselves. We hope to pass this ideology onto our offspring so they can in turn "think for themselves". It may actually save them. Thankfully I have given up smoking now and my son , through my experience hates the idea of being addicted to anything. Harmful or not.

That boy wants to walk and run like any other kids but she suggest him to sit on wheelchair, follows him like he is some kind of handicap. And 5 year old eats more like me... +30 year old adult!

[@pommiebears]

Sharon maybe....it’s munchausens by proxy. His health issues get the mother attention. Maybe she keeps him obese to gain this attention. It happens a lot.

[@susanna8612]

@A J Her excuses are sickening. During 2 hours time she feeds him breakfast, lunch, desert and snack and he has just returned home from party! She is someone who thinks feeding is same as loving.

[@susanna8612]

@@pommiebears yes, probably. Also it feels she want to make him disabled so he never grows up (leaves her) to be independent, capable person but is dependent on her and her "care" rest of his (short) life.

[@noacross4903]

probably more than you as well. He eats at leats 3300 calories a day. I did the Math. and that if he only eats like what he did in those two hours, 3 times a day. in those 2 hours he got at least 1100 calories. a 5 year old need 1200-1400 calories in a Whole day.

[@susanna8612]

@@noacross4903 right. He eats like adult man except he does not exercise at all. Nothing remains healthy if you over take it. But then again, that mom and grandmom are obese also... not in his level but still.

I think there’s something wrong with Zoè mentally she has a look in her eyes like the lights are on but no ones home. This documentary is full of lying parents who just won’t admit they’re in the wrong.

[@kerina6594]

She does not look 16, she looks about 30 if that. Poor thing

[@poppybrownnutt5214]

Howzer The man when I saw her I thought she was 35, honestly some of these parents need to realise the psychological and physical harm they are doing to these children. Plastic surgery at age 16! Getting congratulated for walking a bit. This isn’t good and I think all parents like this should get lectured and monitored, cause this is not okay.

[@tania8257]

Not everyone should be able to have children this is an example

[@Product_reviews_byKen]

Don't you just love when people think they know more than doctors and nurses? I'd love for these parents to go through the classes that we do and then come back and tell us their habits are healthy.

[@Manarhaz_8]

As a med student it really makes me sad .. working day and night and the end some ignorant people think they know better

[@hellkat71]

Ken, they probably STILL wouldn't believe it...like that smoking dad, many would want proof!!

[@connorfrankston5548]

What this demonstrates to me is that we need more psychology classes in public school.

I agree. There’s no excuse for this. I had my son when I was 20 and did a much better job then these people.i research and make sure I’m doing the best I can. These parents are just LAZY.

[@gingerellacookie5641]

and people see birth control as a bad thing

[@ann-mariebaker118]

Totally agree

[@KristyAdLibsLyricsForChrist]

we as a human species have the free will to be rotten and to be so stupid to raise rotten kids because we are human, more stupid than an animal in this respect. people should not be denied their right to kill themselves or their kids in this slothly fashion. is it tragic, absolutely... but whether we like it or not, these are some of the things that makes us individuals, including unhealthy individuals. toothbrush, floss, has no room in their lives since it's work, dinner, TV and neglecting kids letting them do what they want, not what they need.

[@debbieschultz2224]

When my son was five I was lucky to get him to sit long enough to eat or go to the bathroom. This mom is clueless

[@cheritabarbuto8851]

The DNA donors NEED to LEARN how to say "NO" to their kids & stop fueling a ADDICTION to STUPIDITY.

[@drubber007]

fix it? Are you serious?

[@basic5926]

Fix it as in fix their parenting, not the children. Calm down.

“Put a camera in my house and watch what I feed him. You won’t find nothing wrong.” THAT PLATE SHE GAVE HIM WAS A HUGE PORTION OH MY GOD

[@meganearls3744]

Yeah my jaw dropped and that was even while I kept thinking he was 16 years old!

[@TheEagel123]

Not just the portions, but you shouldn't be giving a 5yr old that much fruit. Fruit is healthy to an extent, but they also contain a lot of sugar. Majority of the diet for a kid that age should be mostly vegetables, with some protein.

[@vellabella1]

@@TheEagel123 fruit is 100% better than cakes and snacks she was giving him. Fruit has nutritional value but snacks not at all.

[@Hadesfirst]

@@vellabella1 nobody will deny that, but its the quantity on top of what he was already eating. and it was clear, that exceptional situation for those few hours, the way he was throwing a tantrum and was quite as soon as he got the cake. This women needs to be put behind bars.

[@veronicaadams5104]

These parents are not making their children brush their teeth daily. Even with the sweets, it would prevent decay.
