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.
