Best Answer

It should be the family doctor or pediatrician. However, other concerned family members should say something since allowing a child to become obese is a form of neglect. A concerned friend or neighbor should speak up. Pressure by outsiders may motivate the parents. The child's health can be ruined for the rest of their life. Obesity triggers many lifelong diseases such as heart disease, Diabetes and the premature wearing out of load bearing joints such as knees and hips.

Should the parents of obese children face criminal charges for child abuse or neglect?

* No, childhood obesity is not abuse. Often obesity can be caused by genetics or thyroid problems or poor eating habits. The child should receive a good physical by a doctor and put on a more well balanced diet and a proper exercise program. Some family may not have the financial means to provide a complete healthy diet for their children. Obese children can often become depressed because their peers tease them at school. Exercise is the best way to take off the pounds and the child's parents should get involved with the child when exercising and often one or both parents may be obese themselves.
