9 Year Old Taken Out Of His Home

So an eight year old was taken out of his home because his mother didn't assist her son in losing weight. At one point he weighed 216lbs. He was placed in a foster home and then in his uncle's home when he turned nine and his uncle got him to a gym 3 days a week and got him swimming and playing basketball and now he is back with his mother with supervised care. YMCA gave the kid a free membership and he's down to around 165. The normal weight for a nine year old is around 60 pounds.

Hopefully he'll continue to lose weight.
