Cruel and unusual punishment. Sounds about right!

the 1000 pounder is the Aunt, not the mom. The kids were taken away from the mom because she had been ordered not to leave them with the Aunt because they already knew she was abusing the kids. Or at least that’s how I read it. But, since they sent the kids to “a relative” and not “with Mrs Rosales’ husband, the father” I will go out on a limb and assume that it’s Miss Rosales, and who knows where or whom the baby daddy (daddies?) is/are/were?

In anycase, why would anyone leave their small children with a bedridden person. If there is an emergency...or heck...if one of the kids needs even needs something...

**Is she too big to fit through the doors of the Texas Death chamber?**

crushing the child's head

Gosh, the news just gets better and better doesn't it? I say charge the aunt, the mother and the taco/tamale vendor.

My question is WHO BRINGS THESE PEOPLE THE FOOD. They are the ones who should be held responsible for such obesity. No one EVER questions these people, they should be arrested.

No way would I allow any one I know to eat that much, nor would I purchase the food. If they want it, GET off your DUFF and go get it yourself.

I was just about to post a Giant Ant, too!!

What a country huh, where obesity is an indicator of poverty.

Used to be the other way around.............

Considering the weight of the “aunt” in question, though, you could also post a picture from “The Blob”.
Put her under house arrest on a diet of bread & water. In a couple of years, she’ll be thin enough to stand trial for her crime.

Fuzzy ants, cow killer ants, velvet ants, etc. aren’t really ants at all, but wingless wasps.........

[reagan_fanatic]

A thousand pounds.

I simply cannot imagine anyone being that morbidly obese.

Gross.

Surprised she didn’t eat the kid. “Baby, the other other white meat.”
