[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 162605"] Its sad actually. It shows a failure of society and of the family to give her a decent diet. The problem is that there has to be a point where a parent, a brother, an uncle or a friend has to stop someone on the slipery slope to obeisety and say "seriously, mate, what the f***" and get them back onto the road to recovery. Simply listening to them complain about why they see food as a security blanket and this and that and the other and then "reccomending" that maybe they should go on a diet or go see a Doctor doesn't do it. When people start to binge eat or get addicted to over-eating, its the start of a very bad thing and it always inevitably ends in an early death. The same thing goes for other eating disorders. Its not because nobody "understands them", its because there is no authority in the family and nobody is brave enough to admit that there is something wrong with the son/daughter who eats nothing day after day and drinks only water and weighs four stone eight pounds. At some point, someone has to bite the bullet and take action and if it means forcing them to eat or forcing them to diet and exercise then so be it. Neither of those options are child abuse, its tough love. Standing there idly while their Daughter eats and eats and eats and weights half a ton by the time they are seven or drift deeper and deeper into anorexia [i]is[/i] child abuse. In both cases, the parents should be prosecuted for child abuse. [/QUOTE]
