Sorry, it should read, "The State Must Protect Husky Kids!"
I think this is one more example of the government trying to control people's lives. Make no mistake; we're only seeing the beginning of attacks on personal freedom. I'm gonna have another Moon Pie before they're banned.
"Court hearing on overweight girl."
Parents seek to regain custody of daughter, 3, from state

Sept. 5 — The family of a 3-year-old who was taken from them by the state of New Mexico because she weighed 120 pounds hopes to regain custody of their only child in a custody hearing Tuesday.
THE PARENTS, Adela Martinez and Miguel Regino, are optimistic about reaching a deal at the Albuquerque hearing, their attorney, Troy Prichard, said.
The state took Anamarie from her parents two weeks ago after a social worker accused them of not putting her on a doctor-recommended diet.
The social worker’s affidavit says a doctor diagnosed Anamarie’s condition as leptin receptor deficiency, a rare genetic defect. It causes victims to think they’re hungry, even after they’ve eaten.
But Prichard says the accusations haven’t been proven. He says the affidavit “contains clear misstatements of the facts.”
The head of New Mexico’s Department of Children, Youth and Families has said the main issue isn’t the girl’s weight, but her safety.
