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.

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.

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!

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...

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

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

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.

Well, once you've tried everything to lose weight, literally burning it is your only option left.

Edit: wow, guess I needed that /s after all.

Is there any sort of relation with being obese and an only child? All of the people I know who don't have siblings are fat as fuck. China had that one child rule and they've got a bunch of fat kids. It makes me believe that there has to be some kind of correlation

You know, I hate fats as much as the next shit person, but this really is one of those fraction of a percent cases that can claim a condition where it's legit. The validity of this... treatment... aside, the kid really does suffer a serious medical issue. It makes me that much more mad at the weak willed fucks that say they have "cundishuns" or "gunetiks" which belittles people like this kid, who have actual problems.
