Does any else see Vincent Crabbe (The fat bad kid from Slytherin in the Harry Potter movies) in this kid? Is it me or do all overweight British kids look sort of like this?

There were several stories on the news about this kid. The thing that struck me most is that the mother says he wont eat anything but junk food.

Also, they showed him playing with other kids, and he's a bully.

I think the state should take him from the parents. They're fucking him up.

From what I understand, the rumors are not true -

He did not chase Warwick Davis around Heathrow Airport screaming -

"GET IN MY BELLY!!!"

This kids theme song should be "Godzilla".

I've seen that before, the idea that their weight is their power. Sad they think that's what they have to offer. Kid needs counseling, and not a "how do YOU feel about being fat" kind of counselor.

And from what I hear in the newscast, he has no Off switch to his appetite. No one seems to have looked for an underlying pathology yet.

Prader-Willi Syndrome?

It's a possibility, but I would suggest that in such a high-profile case he should have been checked for this. Should doesn't mean has of course.
