The state has no business making such distinctions. If you argue that a fat person should have her child taken away for no other reason than she isn't as ambulatory as other healthy adults, then you risk people with any disability having their children removed from their homes. The state has enough trouble helping kids who actually are endangered to deal with this nonsense.
