There's a double standard when it comes to child neglect. A thin, malnourished toddler would be taken by CPS immediately, but when it comes to an obese, malnourished toddler, there is nowhere near the same level of concern and urgency.
1 u/Lonsdale1086 28d ago there is nowhere near the same level of concern and urgency. You get that that's literally true though? Not eating enough kills in weeks and damages physical development permanently. Eating too much knocks 20 years off the end of your life. Yes it fucks your future and health up for sure, but it's not an emergency situation that needs instant action.
