This has to be the single most stupid thing I have ever seen in my life.

Your kid is overweight, so we are going to take him away from you and put him in foster care, and charge you with abuse.

Like losing your natural parents is far less traumatic than being obese. Like being shuttled from foster home to foster home and being kept away from parents that actually do love and care for you because of the state is going to contribute to the kid’s well being.

Oh yeah, this may solve obesity, as more and more people stop having kids. Jesus, if you can get charged with abuse for that, they could one day charge you for anything.
