Does Being Extremely Obese Make You an Unfit Parent?
A man in Canada recently had his two children taken away by the government for being too fat to take proper care of them. Do you think this was the correct move by the government?
Last week, a Canadian judge ruled that a single father of two was too obese to parent.
As a result, the 39-year-old man from Ottawa was ordered to put his two boys, ages 6 and 7, up for adoption.
According to an article from the United Press International website, the man weighed 380 pounds but had successfully dropped more than 100 pounds from the previous year.
