I am not the parent of an obese child however I am very worried about my sister in law she is 9 she weighs 250 and her mom doesn't seem to really care. Her mom just giggles when she eats a whole cake or a large plate of summer sausage and cheese. All of the children in the family are large including my husband who has reached 400 pounds. I just don't want my sister in law to struggle with her weight and she is bigger than the other kids in the family at her age. I don't know what to do or if it's even my business. Any ideas

I make healthy dinners for her when she comes to visit and I see she sneaks and throws it out in the garbage, which leads to a fight. Her mother lets her eat a lot of fast food, this has been going on for three years and her weight just increases. I have been told to leave her alone, so I have learned to let it go. You can Lead a horse to water but you cant make them drink. My husband feels he can handle it, I just finally threw my hands up. :(
