In some respects I can see the Doctor's point, just get some energy in for the moment then work out what to do longer term.

I guess it depends on how thin the child was, was his health at immediate risk or not.

Maybe the parents were hippies and were feeding him nothing but lentils and soya milk

no the doctor has no valid point....a doctor that doesnt know the difference between good fats and bad fats shouldnt be a doctor...plus the best time to install life long habits for good eating is when kids are young...

militant social worker b!tch said:

'We would like Zak to go into foster care to assess how he feeds. You have legal rights but be warned if you oppose this we will go straight to court and have all your parental rights taken away.'

:angry:

I'd have lost my rag and punched someone at this point...

Ignoring the fact there is clearly another side to the story here - but what sort of a f'd up place is this country if someone can use these scare tactics. Doesn't actually mothering the child account for anything these days..?

That child looks somewhat like 80's warbler Jim Diamond.

Still, the social worker deserves a kick in the babymaker for that one.
