A new report in the British Medical Journal states that childhood obesity could become a child protection issue.
Whilst the article in the BMJ is more measured in its tone, the newspapers are opting for a more sensational approach, suggesting that overweight children could be snatched away from their 'failing' parents. What are your thoughts on this issue? Whilst childhood obesity is a concerning (and increasing) problem in developed countries, are parents to blame? Or is it a wider issue?
