So its ok to spend money helping alcoholics and crack heads and heroin addicts etc but when it comes to this girl who obviously has some SERIOUS mental disorder and addiction you would see her thrown to the wolves.
£100k is absolutely f**k all compared to the billions spent on alcohol and drug problems
Yeah but drug treatment whether right or wrong can claim to reduce the social and economical impacts of drug abuse. Weight management has funding, but not as much but this isolated incident is the extreme. No different to a heroin user going in and out of highly expensive detox's and rehabs just to relapse (something that has been half addressed ). This girl has had funding for a fat camp in America (paid by a TV company but still) which was something like $10000 a term, lost the weight and then slowly started putting it back on again. People are always going to ask why should this individual continue to get funding for treatment that she doesn't respond too, the same as the heroin user who had loads of expensive detox's and rehabs. Its only natural.
Though I feel for this girl, who mother is clearly a tw*t and should seriously be looked at from a criminal prospective foe neglect. She was massive as a toddler before you can even claim to have any poor mental relationships with food. Then after her fat camp, they did an update whilst the girl was doing well and her mother would keep trying to give her chips, fall fat milk and god knows what else. She apparently did really well at first but her mother would sit there every night just pigging out on kfc in front of her instead of supporting her, she was eventually going to slip with that great support.
Oh and the mothers excuse? 'Well I can't afford to buy all that healthy crap'.. yet she can afford to feed herself and her daughter a kfc every night along with all the other crap that she consumes. Since she has been bedridden the mother is effective murdering her daughter because she is too stubborn to change her own poor habits.
