Woman to give ‘obese’ kids letters, not candy
‘I just want to send a message to the parents of kids that are really overweight.’
WTF!!! This is such a cowardly move by this ignorant insensitive woman. The child is obese or on their way to be, in her unmedical opinion. She SHOULD speak directly with the parent. What if the child reads the letter and loses all self esteem and commits suicide, or goes on and lives this self abusive life, because they lost any self confidence they had. Has she helped the child or the family then? She can hand out a health bar or something and contact the parent directly. Better yet, get involved in organizations that help children in these situations. She doesn’t even know if it’s a medical problem, an emotional one, or the kid just eats a lot. But to just give it to a child is insensitive and irresponsible. I mean what if this lady has her own mental disorder on body image? This is a form of bullying from a grown up to someone else’s child.

I agree, this was most definitely not the way to go about this. It makes me very angry to see such young, obese children these days but there are other ways to help. Kids need to be encouraged and enlightened to eat healthier and exercise more, not bullied into it. The parents really need to take responsibility for themselves and their own children as well too. There need to be more programs that help children AND their parents in making healthier choices. …Thanks for sharing this and your thoughts 🙂
