Basically this 8 year old third grader weighs 220 lbs. After working with specialists and dieticians for a year and a half, they determined that the kid's weight and lifestyle constituted neglect and placed him in foster care. What do you all think?
Neglect is one of those areas which can be hard to define and draw a certain line. When do you involve CPS for a frequent flier asthmatic or diabetic who keeps landing in the ICU? There's surprisingly little literature on this topic, so I'd love to hear your thoughts.
