Health officials support placing obese children in foster care before undergoing surgery.
LUFKIN, Texas (KTRE) -
If a child is obese and qualifies for weight loss surgery, some health experts believe they should be put in temporary foster care.
They feel it's more ethical than going under the knife.

I had a really hard time not putting this in the "Crimes against Children" thread.
Has the entire world gone insane? Who in their right mind would take a child from a loving family and place then in an already overflowing, understaffed system, just because they are overweight?
Folks, we are in serious trouble here when the government has so much control that they can take our children, if they feel they don't meet the required standards.:banghead:
