I've seen this kid before, on the news I believe.
This child is clearly headed for a premature death if something isn't done promply to ensure weight loss.
The parent is allowing this to take place- allowing a child to damage themselves to the point of certain death.
That's abuse, plain and simple.
If the child isn't removed, what then?
The parent has already demonstrated an incapabilty/unwillingness to stop this.

That's a good one!
Since we're sharing, here's a good one I just received from Britain:
New Words for 2007
* SALAD DODGER.
An excellent phrase for an overweight person.
* SWAMP-DONKEY
A deeply unattractive person.
* TESTICULATING.
Waving your arms around and talking bollocks.
* BLAMESTORMING.
Sitting round in a group, discussing why a deadline was missed or a
project failed, and who was responsible.
* SEAGULL MANAGER.
A manager who flies in, makes a lot of noise, craps on everything, and
then leaves.
* ASSMOSIS.
The process by which people seem to absorb success and advancement by
sucking up to the boss rather than working hard.
* SALMON DAY.
The experience of spending an entire day swimming upstream only to get
screwed and die.
* CUBE FARM.
An office filled with cubicles.
* PRAIRIE DOGGING.
When someone yells or drops something loudly in a cube farm, and
people's heads pop up over the walls to see what's going on. (This also
applies to applause for a promotion because there may be cake.)
* SITCOMs.
Single Income, Two Children, Oppressive Mortgage. What yuppies turn into
when they have children and one of them stops working to stay home with
the kids or start a "home business".
* SINBAD..
Single working girls. Single income, no boyfriend and desperate.
* AEROPLANE BLONDE.
One who has bleached/dyed her hair but still has a 'black box'.
* PERCUSSIVE MAINTENANCE.
The fine art of whacking the crap out of an electronic device to get it
to work again.
* ADMINISPHERE.
The rarefied organisational layers beginning just above the rank and
file. Decisions that fall from the "adminisphere" are often profoundly
inappropriate or irrelevant to the problems they were designed to solve.
This is often affiliated with the dreaded "administrivia" - needless
paperwork and processes.
* GOING FOR A McSH*T.
Entering a fast food restaurant with no intention of buying food, you're
just going to the bog. If challenged by a pimply staff member, your
declaration to them that you'll buy their food afterwards is known as a
McShit with Lies.
* 404.
Someone who's clueless. From the World Wide Web error message "404 Not
Found" meaning that the requested document could not be located.
* AUSSIE KISS.
Similar to a French Kiss, but given down under.
* OH-NO SECOND..
That minuscule fraction of time in which you realize that you've just
made a BIG mistake (e.g. you've hit 'reply all').
* GREYHOUND.
A very short skirt, only an inch from the hare.
JOHNNY-NO-STARS.
A young man of substandard intelligence, the typical adolescent who
works in a burger restaurant. The 'no-stars' comes from the badges
displaying stars that staff at fast-food restaurants often wear to show
their level of training.
* MILLENNIUM DOMES.
The contents of a Wonderbra, i.e. extremely impressive when viewed from
the outside, but there's actually naught in there worth seeing.
* MONKEY BATH.
A bath so hot, that when lowering yourself in, you go: "Oo! Oo! Oo!
Aa! Aa! Aa!".
* MYSTERY BUS.
The bus that arrives at the pub on Friday night while you're in the
toilet after your 10th pint, and whisks away all the unattractive people
so the pub is suddenly packed with stunners when you come back in.
* MYSTERY TAXI.
The taxi that arrives at your place on Saturday morning before you wake
up, whisks away the stunner you slept with, and leaves a 10- Pinter in
your bed instead.
* BEER COAT.
The invisible but warm coat worn when walking home after a booze cruise
at 3:00am.
* BEER COMPASS.
The invisible device that ensures your safe arrival home after booze
cruise, even though you're too drunk to remember where you live, how you
got here, and where you've come from.
* BREAKING THE SEAL.
Your first pee in the pub, usually after 2 hours of drinking. After
breaking the seal of your bladder, repeat visits to the toilet will be
required every 10 or 15 minutes for the rest of the night.
* TART FUEL.
Bottled premixed spirits, regularly consumed by young women.
* PICASSO BUM.
A woman whose knickers are too small for her, so she looks like she's
got 4 buttocks. -

Is anyone else concerned?
by sammielee24 inthe usa rating has slipped to at least 50th place - down from about 17th just a few years ago.
one way that all dictatorships gain and keep control of their people, is to supress information and control media.
this gradually paves the way for a totalitarian government in which you are fed a constant supply of government approved news - which in turn creates much more isolationisim and brainwashing.

It doesn’t matter who is in office, Bush or any other President will be replaced after a term or two.
The Presidents are just figureheads for the financiers behind the lobbyists, who are really behind what goes on.
Don’t know if you have seen this yet, but it might help you to understand things a little more clearly:

It’s long, but the presentation of the information is delivered in a humorous way that holds your attention.
Well worth the time invested to watch it, methinks.

First & Last, One-time post
by journey-on ini have been lurking for quite some time now on jwd.
my story is pretty much just like everyone else's, "only the names have been changed".
in reading your posts, i have both laughed and cried till tears ran down my cheeks.

Brother Apostate
I absolutely love it! Very well put, Bravo!
Don't think He won't see right through that.
I believe that is exactly what they fail to realize.
If God and the afterlife were in any way real to them,
they would immediately change their behavior towards others,
knowing that with the measure they are judging,
they themselves will be judged,
alone,
for their actions,
by God,
when they die!
They just don't get it!

We are here for Adoption!
by new boy ini was taking to grace (mouthy) on the phone today in canada.....what a sweetheart she truly is.. we have decided to put ourselfs out for adoption.
since i have lost family members because of being a jehovah's witness for 52 years and since many here have lost wifes, husbands, children, sisters, brothers, mothers, fathers, and of course friends.. we have decided to put ourselfs out for adoption...............grace told me today she would be happy to be your grandmother to all that would like to have a grandmother..........i would love to be a father to anyone who would like to have a father.........that no longer has one.. we have this to offer to all...........the most important thing a parent, grand parent or friend can offer their child, grandchild or friend........and that is, unconditional love to all.......you are all perfect.the love that real family members may have is conditional.......but true love never is.
we are here for you all.............and anyone else here on this board that would like to be a grandparent parent, father,mother, sister, brother or friend ............. please let all here know now.. as the italians say "familia"...........we are family!........we are here for adoption.

newboy,
The Love that real family members may have is conditional
Sometimes (as is often the JW case) that may sadly be true. Conditional love is not love at all, plain and simple. Only the brainwashed minions believe that is what love is. All they need to do is read Paul's description of real love in 1 Cor 13 to figure out the difference- Love never fails!
BA- OK, I can adopt you, as long as you get along with mini-me. Mini-me, meet newboy!

nvrgnbk,
"I'd rather have questions I can't answer than answers I can't question."
Very succint way to state one of the major reasons I concluded "it" was not the truth. Thanks.
Fred,
Independent thinking refers to thinking that does not at least attempt to take Jehovah's personality, thoughts, and ways into account. What do you think the Genesis account means when God says "let us make man in our image", huh? Independent thinking means no such thing, as we are inherently made in his image. Aren't you really afraid of not taking the "governing body's" personality, thoughts, and ways into account? jgnat, Great response to your friend. Here's to hoping your friend sees the real light and puts God before teachings of men. BA- Truly happy to use my free will to obey God rather than men.
