I get your point, but mine is, you have to have a clear standard... there has to be a line...
Where does that line go exactly?
And the one KG over or under situation still presents itself...
Just a sticky place for gubbamint to get involved, I think.
The line has to be drawn by professionals, and obviously the child would have to be tested for a genetic predisposition.
The one Kg over situation shouldn't be a problem if you give the parents some time to improve the situation after it's first discovered that the child is obese,
The government should also offer help to parents in the form of courses on parenting and nutrition. The child should only be taken away in extreme cases when the parents prove to be unconvinceable and biological factors have been ruled out.
Taking the child away was a bit too extreme in my opinion. I say let the mother keep the child, but send the child to fat camp.
And if the child becomes fat again ? Send it again to fat camp ? And if get's fat a third time ?
Here's a good example how not to do it
Link to video.
They mention a previous case where a child was taken away and it turned out to be genetical. These things have to be checked before any action is taken.
