A third grade boy  was taken from him mother  by child services because he was severely overweight, over 200 pounds. They considered it child neglect to medical causes. The officials first noticed it when he was taken to the hospital because of a breathing problems, and he was sent to a program to help him lose weight but it didn't work so well. Because of his constant health problems, the boy has been taken away from his mother.

I think that the boy shouldn't have been taken away from him mom because its still his mother, obesity is a disease and it takes time to change the unhealthy lifestyle. I think that she should be required to help him and put him into sports or programs where he should be eating healthy, losing weight and creating a social life. The mother could easily help him do all of those things, she just has to push him to do it. so with her support he can probably do it instead of being taken away from him family.
