The case was such an unusual one because the children had clearly had some very good parenting. The idea that taking children forcibly from their parents is somehow better for their health is demented two things, i would say. In 20 16, n h s scotland officially recommended setting up sta funded fat camps. And in 20 21, the n h s in england set up a pilot programme of 15 fat camps around england. So on an aggregate level, this appears to be pretty bad. Between two thousand nine and 20 14 74 fat kids were removed from their homes just a result of weight.
