roamingguy 300292 Report post Posted June 21, 2012 I read the article on CBC. There is more to it than being overweight, and I personally think the man in question is using his obesity to garner sympathy He smokes marijuana daily, and has been violent. My guess, if the children are removed to be adopted (not foster care) and he is banned from contacting Children's Aid, there is much more to the story, and his weight isn't the reason for the children's removal Here's the story from CBC News http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/story/2012/06/21/ottawa-obese-father-loses-custody-children.html RG Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
