  1. i agree that if parents choose to deliberately damage their children’s health, they should always be held accountable because then hopefully all parents will realize how serious their childrens health and even lifespand is because if they choose to keep feeding their kids unhealthy than there kids might only live for a couple more years.

  2. Yes because it is wrong to make people fat and help people get there and die at a young age.They need to warn parents about ther children andhelp evreywone lose weght and stop people from getting diabetes

  3. Yes they should be charged.Kids should be taken away because the child could die. It is the parents job to control there kids eating. Also it is not fare to the kids because there parents can’t make a healthy meal.

  4. Yes I do think parents should be charged with child abuse if there children are obese I think this because if they knew they could get charged for it less people would do it it’s simple.

  5. Yes, parents should be charged for children abuse for obesity because well, IT’S NOT FAIR to the kids! Would you like it if we (the kids) feed you this stuff?! Thought so. Parents, it’s really not good for them, I have a feeling you parents just don’t care about there health at all. AT ALL. Really, I am ashamed. By Tally.

  6. i think that the parents should be charged for child obesity because you dont want your chiderin to die thats why i agree.

  7. HI kids, sometimes childhood obesity is linked to disorders such as under-active thyroid problems and so the process of judging or charging parents would have to be done with careful reasons in place.
