Okay, I can't joke about this. The kid has not only been abused by being allowed to get to this weight, he's suffering a lot from this bullshit fire treatment.

He suffers Prader-Willi Syndrome, a rare disorder involving obsessive eating, learning difficulties and growth abnormalities.

According to wikipedia, this disorder causes mild to moderate intellectual impairment and behavioral problems as well as constant, uncontrollable hunger. If access to food is not strictly limited, the person gains a lot of weight.

Appearently it affects between 1 in 10,000 and 1 in 30,000 people.

It's probably not long until some fatties are going to claim that this disorder is responsible for their weight...

My former flatmate tried to diagnose herself with Praeder-Willi."But everything fits, I have the same facial features and I'm always hungry!"

I've already seen it. They also will ignore that fact that it is heavily associated with mental retardation though.

this actually makes me really freaking sad. I don't think Prader-Will kids should be allowed on here. It's not even really necessarily the parents fault. The kid shouldn't be subjected to freaking "cures" they do in the backwoods with the witches and shit that somehow made it into hospitals. He should be treated like other kids and placed in a facility. Prader kids will eat dogfood and trash and soap and stuff.

Thank you, and to the top you go.

Victims of Prader-Willis Syndrome are one of the very few exceptions I'm willing to make when it comes to fat hate.

This is because it is one of the very few actually legitimate genetic conditions which makes it pretty much impossible to maintain a healthy body weight.

The carer of said child should have limits put on food. There is no excuse for letting your child become THAT!

I completely agree. I used to care for a person with Prader-Willi and all food had to be locked up. She went home one time for a long weekend and gained like 6-8 lbs in just four days. I know most of that was probably still in her stomach but still, you get the idea. Completely horrible disease.

How much rice do you actually have to eat to be that fucking big at age 11. He has an eating disorder? That means there are no adults to regulate his food intake? It's a mental disorder, not physical. Withholding food will not hurt the lad.

Prader-Willi is pretty bad. It causes mental retardation and interferes with the brain's ability to detect satiety, so someone with the condition always feels like they are starving. IIRC it's caused by a gene deletion on chromosome 15 and is inherrited from the father (so the gene is missing in the sperm, not the egg). Caregivers need to be very strict and literally lock all food away because people with Prader-Willi can't feel full (they always feel as if they are starving) and can actually eat so much that their stomach bursts. Sufferers will often eat non-food items like pet food or items from the garbage.

So yes, caregivers need to withhold food, but not all caregivers are good caregivers and some aren't as diligent as they should be. There was actually a really interesting documentary about Prader-Willi on YouTube, I'll see if I can find it.

Edit: not the doc I was looking for, but this video is just as informative. You can hear it when some of the children talk that there is something "not quite right". Also for one of the obese kids, his obese mom admits to giving him extra food he doesn't need because she "feels bad". It just boggles my mind; you know it's bad to do that, but you do it anyways. Obese mom can't control her own urges, she shouldn't be allowed to care for a special needs child.

Edit 2: forgot a few words

Prada willis is brutal... it is unsatiable hunger coupled with mental disability. A girl in my town had it. Her parents had to lock the fridge and cupboards. If she wasnt kept an eye on at school she would raid other kid's lunchboxes.

Things this boy will never experience: 1) wiping his own ass 2) sports of any kind 3) possibly puberty 4) flirting from the opposite (or same for that matter) sex 5) blow job, hand job or masturbation. How fat it TOO fat by age eleven? If you can't give yourself a reach around, YOU'RE TO FAT!

Actually, one of the characteristics of Prader-Willi syndrome is hypogonadism, so you're not so far off. Nevertheless I do feel bad for people with PWS and I don't think they deserve our fat-hate :(

I don't think it will help them lose weight but I actually am in favor of setting fat people on fire

burning fat peoples houses down isn't a downside after housing them the places are likely no longer suitable for human life better to start over and rebuild

Some parts are not...My boyfriends mother came from the upbringing where women are not supposed to be thin because apparently it means you're poor. She made really rude comments about my weight the first few times she met me.

Edit: They are from Hong Kong.
