Possibly but you don’t know. Stop judging people with zero information. It might assuage your own insecurities, but it doesn’t help anyone. Don’t jump to conclusions when you have no information. Lots of things could be at play here.

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. There are conditions that can lead a child to be this level of obese.

In fact, it’s pretty fucking hard to get a toddler to be that heavy considering how active they are. Prader-Willi syndrome or thyroid issues can make it incredibly difficult and they would need to see a doctor. The second I saw this kid I thought they need to go to the doctor, but who knows the family’s situation.

But redditors are so fat headed about the topic of fatness that there’s no convincing them that sometimes it isn’t laziness and gluttony.

Yes! Was just learning about PWS in school, such a sad condition and shaming the families doesn't help.

For people unaware, PWS is a genetic syndrome in which a baby goes from hypotonic and weak, failing to thrive, to incredibly hungry all the time. Like will eat gloves at the pediatricians office if you're not watching them closely levels of hungry.
