THE desperate parents of a NINE STONE three-year-old have told how they can't make the giant toddler diet because they are scared of him.
Lu Hao, from China, is dangerously overweight, and at 9st 6lb is FIVE TIMES as heavy as other boys his age.
He is getting so big his family are frightened of him — and have given up trying to stop the youngster from gorging on huge plates of ribs and rice.
His parents claim he throws vicious tantrums if he doesn't get third or fourth helpings of dinner.

1 stone = 14 lbs
Words fail except to wonder if he can see at all - his eyes aren't visible in any of the photos (and yes I'm allowing for the epicanthic folds of Asians).

Must rely on his sense of smell, as he seems to find his plate just fine.

Lock up the food and let him tantrumize some of that weight off.

I never got why so many parents cannot do this. It is so easy!

I know a little boy who can barely see. He is mesmerized by music. He would rather listen to music than play with his friends.
The less he sees, probably the more important his senses like taste and smell become. He probably lives for eating at this point.

What is the food bill for this poor kid.... Oh I forgot, it’s a welfare state.
To: pnh102
My parents let us eat all we wanted but my sisters and I were active. Course we didn’t have cable TV or video games back in the olden days of the 70s.

Geez, if they can’t control him now, how are they ever going to control him when he’s a teenager.
It looks like yet another set of parents who have spoiled and overly-endulged a child and are shocked at the results.
Surely the father, at least, can force a 132 lb individual to comply with his expectations.

UK is a Nanny state. They will soon step in and take the kid away from the parents.

Just to clarify...it’s a kid in China but a UK newspaper story.
US newspapers might have carried it but they ran out of space after the 145th article on Michelle Obama’s wardrobe.
