If you live in Puerto Rico and you have an obese kid, you could be labeled a child abuser. What? Their potential new law would allow social workers to open a child neglect case and fine parents 500 bucks if there is no progress in 6 months and even more money if there isn’t progress in a year. I know as a former fat kid and current big man that shaming people into weight loss is not the way to do it. If you have confidence and know who you are and are not going to take any guff from people than good for you, maybe these governments should also then start fining parents of bullies and parents of kids that can’t get the presidential fitness award. Let a kid be a kid, I am guessing it is hard enough being one in today’s society.
