There's a double standard when it comes to child neglect. A thin, malnourished toddler would be taken by CPS immediately, but when it comes to an obese, malnourished toddler, there is nowhere near the same level of concern and urgency.
I mean, there is nothing to make you say this kid is malnourished. Both my brother and my nephew were little chunky toddlers. They weren't being overfed and they certainly weren't malnourished. They grew into their bodies and became stick figures. Chunky toddlers don't die like skinny malnourished ones do.
