no comments.Weighing 14 stone,three times the average weight for an eight year old, Connor McCreaddie may have to be put in to care for his own safety. Following a case conference this week he may be put on the child protection register or the children in need register. His mother says that they understand that they need help but feel it would be detrimental for him to be taken away from her. Action this severe, that social services are to be involved, is a landmark case in the fight against childhood obesity which is on the increase in the UK. National Health Service sources said that many attempts had been made in the past to help the family and all appointments had been missed by Connor and his family. They added that it would be a last resort to take a child into care but they had to take into consideration the effects on his health.
