Pining for Socialism? Better Hope Your Kids Don’t Get Fat!

This is terrible. I know a few people who have been told by their pediatricians that their kids are obese – when anyone with sight knows they aren’t! What happens in a society with socialized medicine to parents with children the state deems too fat? The nanny state takes them away!

A couple soon expecting their seventh child has had their fifth and sixth taken by social workers after warnings that the family needed to slim down their overweight kids or risk losing custody.

The unnamed 39-year-old mother from Dundee, Scotland, told the United Kingdom’s The Sun newspaper, “This is every family’s worst nightmare.”

Scotland’s television station STV reports the family was warned last year that they risk losing all of their kids, ages 3 to 13, unless the children lost weight. At the time, the youngest, a girl, weighed 56 pounds. The oldest, a boy, has since grown to over 220 pounds.

“This whole case has been dreadful,” said Kathleen Price, the couple’s attorney. “Neither of these parents takes drink or drugs. They have a big, happy, noisy family, which is prone to being overweight.”

Newsflash: Some people are simply prone to being overweight. To remove children from their parents only causes more harm. And if you think it can’t happen here in the US, just listen to the way politicians talk about taxing soda because childhood obesity is such a problem – it strains the health care system. If they pass ObummerCare do you think they won’t consider removing overweight children from their homes?
