Fat boy custody

February 27, 2007

A boy's weight has jumped up so high, local authorities are investigating whether he should be taken away from the care of his parents. Since Christmas Connor McCreaddie has managed to lose some weight (he was 15 stone eight pounds/ 98.8kg) following an intensive exercise programme and trying to eat healthy food. But doctors are still hugely concerned about his health. Nicola McKeown, his mother, says Connor refuses to eat most fruit and vegetables and argues she can't force feed him.
