You know kids don't only eat at home or in front of their parents, right?
Where else can they eat so the parents don't have any control? Maybe it's time for some "parents" to wear their big boy pants and start PARENTING their kids?

Friend's house
Grandparent's house
Other parent's house such as a divorced couple or never married couple
Aunt's/uncle's house
Depending on their age, they can go out and eat such as teens. They go to the mall, gas stations, grocery store, and restaurants. Even as a 5 year old, I would go to the corner store and get a 25 cent bag of chips when I'd go to my grandparents house.

Parents aren't with their children 24/7.
The kid is not becoming fat in one day. You can see the development. And then you start to act.
You as a parent tell the grandparent that the kids cannot eat such and such, you tell his friend's parents the same.
You would tell them if they allergic to nuts, right? So sugar is the same.
About malls and restaurants: The kid is not allowed to go to there unsupervised by adult if his weight is more than such and such.
Tough? Yes, very tough. But this is parenting.

Yet another installment from the jail warden . This has no basis in reality concerning the girl in this thread. She has a serious illness which is causing the weight issue. Not the other way around. You are no help at all, only a hindrance. But you have your mind made up that you "know" what ails her when you really don't have a clue at all. There are physical issues that can cause a person to gain weight while eating sensibly. If I had to be around you for long I would overeat just to cope.

I'm not a jail warden. I just want my kids to be healthy and no second best socially.
Those illnesses are extremely rare. Only 300 kids are diagnosed in a year nationwide. A lot of other people are using those extra rare diseases, "genes", "big bones" as an excuse. Stop this<bleep> . There were no fat people in Auschwitz.

They were on a starvation diet including at times bread made partially with sawdust. Not only were they starving, but they were made to do hard physical labor all the while not being clothed properly in winter. You would probably call this "tough love", or a great idea for a camp for overweight teens (sarcasm).
You comparing known metabolic issues such as Hypothyroidism with the Holocaust is mind boggling. The thyroid gland "can be" influenced by puberty, pregnancy, and menopause.

So it's a very clear proof that people CAN lose weight even with "metabolic issues". They just need to work harder.
As a person who gets 5 pounds only because of walking across a bakery, I know that I need to work harder than others. But that what needs to be done.

Seriously. Just stop. You’re embarrassing yourself.
Came for an update and found a moron suggesting concentration camps for overweight children with disabilities. Jesus Christ.
More importantly, many people who survived Auschwitz did get fat later. Thank goodness. I'd rather be fat than dead. Way, way rather.
