Hi all

I saw that in the Mail - think he comes from a very poor family who are earning from the publicity - its Russia and they think differently over there!

OMG

Stories like that just make me sick!

That is disgraceful and his parents ought to be ashamed of themselves

That is child cruelty

Im really lost for words!!

that poor boy...being treated like a circus attraction :sigh: it shouldn't be allowed.

I feel for him the poor little man. 9yrs old and been splashed all over the media seems a bit harsh to me but then again hopefully someone will want to help him.

His mother said that he gained weight twice as fast as his brothers....do you think he could have some kind of illness or genetic condition that causes him to be so big? Poor child - if it isn't sorted out soon he health could seriously deteriorate. Zxx

I would think so...I too hope that the poor little mite gets some help...and I pray he is not being exploited.

(((hugs)))

of course

Of course hes being exploited. The mum is proud of their son that is known throughout his village and nationally.

The problem is not money as you can see my the meat and food choices he has. Its not family as he has their support. The issue are the parents. They are not helping him, not saying no and will obviously help him to an early grave.

I feel sorry for the kid but what can you do when the parents do not want to help him? The mother says "he does gymnstics", does she really think thats possible at his weight? If that was in the UK now the parents would be up for child abuse and the kid put in care to help him loose weight.
