My 9 year old nephew is officially obese ...and I live four hours away. Even if i did live nearby the kid has been taught to hate me my his grandparents (his dads side). Even if he is a bit of a brat I can't help but hope when he's older he sees whats wrong here. He's a kid from a previous relationship (before the guy met my sister) so there's technically no relation, but he's got 5 other cousins and two half siblings who call me uncle anyway..it feels wrong to just ignore the kid...moving on. He's nine and only supposed to be 50lbs or so..and he's 100lbs. He lives with his grandparents due to the fact that his parents were only like 16 when he was born so they raised him. All they feed him is snack cakes and chips, or fatty breakfast meals. He's actually started manipulating them into giving him more food as well. Saying he loves a meal around one grandparent and then telling the other that he didnt eat because he didnt like what was cooked..and then getting a box of snack cakes to take to his room
