Poor diet and no exercise results in obesity and health problems, can there be anyone in the western world who is unaware of this fact?

The mother of the six children is certainly overweight and unless she has a very indifferent doctor, she would have been advised on diet.

Rather then remove the children from home, the mother needs to be educated in nutrition and monitored daily. A far more practical, cost efficient way of seeing this problem overcome.

The children shouldn’t be removed from their home - it is not in their best interests to suggest this. They can learn along with their mother, what the sensible choices in food are, something which will stand them in good stead for the future and for raising their own families.
