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.
