For reference, my kids both reached 30kg when they were seven!

    That poor girl.

    And those shithead parents. What were they doing it for? Tying to make a tiny ballerina?

      They didn’t. The kid is fine.

      This case is interesting, as the kid was off the radar. She was homeschooled, and part of the reason it’s newsworthy is that the dance instructors didn’t really have a channel to report their concerns to Child Protection like a teacher would.

      The case is still unfolding, as the parents are still in court and more details are released.

        Fine is a stretch, malnutrition and her lack of education will harm her for the rest of her life.

    The more you read the weirder it gets. It’s like they’re trying to keep her as a child and starving her I guess is part of that since it stunts growth? These people are beyond crazy, they’re “gunna be a Youtube video one day” kinda nuts.
