Social services faced outrage yesterday for taking four obese children from their parents.

According to The Daily Mail, the couple have lost a three-year battle with the authorities and their youngest children – girls aged 11, seven and one, and a boy of five – will either be ‘fostered without contact’ or adopted.

The move follows a failed attempt to solve the children’s weight problem by putting the family in a ‘Big Brother’ house, having a social worker present to monitor all meal times, and imposing a curfew and strict rules about their lifestyle.

There is no suggestion the parents are accused of deliberate cruelty or abuse or criminal acts, and concern over the children’s weight is said to be the main factor behind the intervention by social services.

The 42-year-old mother said: “We might not be the perfect parents, but we love our children with all our hearts. To face a future where we will never see them again is unbearable. It feels like even prisoners have more human rights than we do.”

The shocked parents plan to fight the decision to remove their children.

The case has provoked a furious public reaction on the internet.
