Thread: Judge to rule on whether obesity is factor in man's fitness for fatherhood

For those of you who don't know how to click the link,here are a few comment's;

Discrimination, pure and simple ! How many kids jump on the furniture, all of them I'll bet. What a poor excuse. Go to the mall and tell me how many fat women with kids that you see.This is nothing more than an extension of the bias towards males being able to raise kids just as well as women. The gov't does not want to support people in their own homes, it would mean job losses for social workers and foster homes that can't do the job at all.

So a druggy mother had custody, but an overweight dad isn't good enough? this is ridiculous!!!
They would never dream of taking kids away from an overweight mother!
Whoever wrote this story needs to get digging deeper as well, there is more to this, don't just make it about an over wheight dad!

Dad is obese, dropped 340 lbs, stopped using "weed" & is taking steps to improve his behaviour in the way of anger management? Mom is a drug addict who OD'd and had custody? Is it me, what's wrong with this picture?

Disgusting!

Thanks for sharing some of the comments, it gives an insight into what we're about to see... I'm glad that some are seeing through the bigotry of this.

This is how the,"hired gun",feminazi father assassin's work in Ontario.

He refused gastric bypass surgery at the Ottawa Hospital and decided instead to lose the weight through exercise — he used to be a power lifter — and proper diet. He trained seven days a week and swam lots of laps in a pool.

"Quite frankly," a doctor wrote, "I do not believe he followed through with even one of our dietary recommendations."
In fact, the father dropped to 340 pounds on his own terms and now weighs 380.

Amazing. The guy loses 340lbs, practically halving his weight, and it's not good enough for them?

The bloke was a power lifter and obviously very dedicated for a long time... then 'something' happened that made him completely let go of himself. He's married to a drug-addicted wife and the Doctors wonder why he's let go?


Sheesh.

Yes, obesity should totally be a factor. Especially of the kids. Any mom with a fucking clinically obese six year old is clearly unfit to raise a child.

If that's the case, they should be going after the moms too, as I've seen plenty of overweight single moms feeding crap to their kids.

C'mon, we all know how that will work out...

Judge "You sir a fatty - therefore you can't have custody of your children.."

Judge "You madam are a fatty too - therefore you can't have custody of your children."

Feminist "But Mr. Judge, don't you get it? She's only fat because of the patriarchy! It's men's fault she's a blubberwhale!"

Judge "Ahh, I see.. ok, you get custody!"

I said years ago that once they had taken everything they could from smokers, they would move on to a new hate target and I thought that hate target would be fat people. There always has to be a target.

I honestly can't believe some people on this board are in support of comments like this:

Yes, obesity should totally be a factor. Especially of the kids. Any mom with a fucking clinically obese six year old is clearly unfit to raise a child.

Just more power to give to child services eh? Yes, this case is discriminatory but the solution isn't to equally apply this ridiculous concept. The solution is to drop the idea that weight should be a factor in custody.

at 6:23 AM ETfirst we have to look at who is making these decisions. Familly court decisions are and always have been extremely biased against men. then you have familly services/childrens aid. again, an organization that is highly femenized and extremely biased against men. all this even though women have always and continue to pose the greatest hazard to the welfare of children in our society. these are demonstrated facts.

So, has there been a similar precedent regarding a woman's fitness for motherhood? Maybe a rhetorical question. If it rules against the father, a discrimination suit must be immediately filed!

And furthermore, lets join in a collective fingers up to the system.

I would automatically question under what authority this judge supposes to make such rulings? A good Canadian lawyer will blow this judge out of the water!

As a libertarian, I'd rather have a shorter longevity, than have the state unduly micro-managing my life.

It's really very simple. If he has sperm and money, according to our misandric society he is fit to be a father, i.e. a person who donates what he has to a woman who wants to be a mother.

And if he is male, he is fit to be DENIED custody. I guess being obese is just another handy excuse.

Obese man's sons being put up for adoption

Man plans hunger strike at Parliament Hill to protest court's ruling

An obese Ottawa father of two lost supervised visits with his children in a court ruling Wednesday, and the two boys are now being put up for adoption.

The man and his children cannot be named due to provisions of the Child and Family Services Act.

He admits to smoking marijuana habitually and to sometimes becoming violent in the past, but never with his children, who have special needs.

He said he's gone through counselling and anger management, and that he'll continue to push for the right to see his children.

Man plans hunger strike on Friday at Parliament Hill

The man said by phone Wednesday night that the judge brought up his weight during the ruling, as well as his hatred for women, which the man denies.

He said the judge said it would be a full-time job to lose weight, and another full-time job to care for the two active boys.

He said the ruling also prohibits him from contacting any Children's Aid Society workers for the next two years.

The man said he plans to start a hunger strike on Friday and create a website about his struggles.

"I'm going on a hunger strike to bring attention to not just my situation, but definitely my situation is paramount," he said. "My children need to know the lengths which I am willing to go to at least have a chance at raising them, and I'm going to go for as long as I possibly can. And while I'm on the Hill I'm going to let people know what the situation really is.

"I am absolutely blown away by this decision, and I will not stand for it," he said.

He once weighed 525 pounds and is now 355 pounds, he said.

"I was fighting for a single chance at custody," he said. "I have never been given a chance."

Adoption??

At the worst this should be foster-care, giving him a realistic opportunity to get himself sorted 'according to court desires' (not that his weight is their business in the real world)... That they're adopting him is just disgusting.

I would start to think that all the obese Mother's in this country better start taking note.

Or can obesity only be men's fault?


Fat dad-not fit to raise children.

Fat mom,only a victim of the patriarchy(men),she need's support.

Maybe there should be an Obesity women's shelter?

This is the biggest anti-father f'n joke to come out of my country.

He says he had previous anger issue's that he had dealt with.

I say this would throw any and all anger management out the f'n window.

HE HAS EVERY RIGHT TO BE ANGRY!
