The person who posted about her being 60 lbs has corrected themselves now, and I have no issue with them. Maybe they just saw a shorter clip where they couldn't tell how big she was and made an honest mistake. That's fine. We all make mistakes.You realize that an average means some are larger and some are smaller, right? And it's still within normal limits.
No 9 year old should be that size though. Would you give a 9 year old a pack of smokes a day? No? Then it's also wrong to kill them slowly by overfeeding them.
An average 9 year old American girl is apparently 62 lbs as Boru just posted. How do you figure that average isn't a thing?
Your fixation on her size is concerning. You went through a pretty detailed list of reasons why you think she's too big for her age and that comes from poor parenting...in your opinion.
Yes, I do think it's poor parenting to let your child eat to the point where they will lose decades of their potential lifespan. They are killing their child. I know it may be a controversial opinion in this day and age, but I am opposed to killing children, unless we're talking about abortion, and in that case I'm fine with those ones being killed even if the mother is nine months pregnant. Her body, her choice. Killing a 9 year old is another story though.
I don't have anything against fat people. Eating disorders suck and I very much so sympathize with that. When they are young though and their parents can still do something about it, the parents should at least put in some effort and try to help their child rather than giving in and letting them eat whatever they want, or telling them that size doesn't matter and that they are perfect just how they are.
