The problem here is the precedent that it sets. They start out with something like the super-obese kids but where does it stop? Do they later take away anorexic kids? What about autistic kids or those with other mental disabilities? Can they take kids from smokers or what about drinkers? What about those who don't feed their kids according to Michele's latest fad made law?

Its something seen around the world and throughout time. The parable of the hopping toad from parts of Africa (The toad sits outside the door and you think nothing of it, then it takes a hop inside not noticed, soon it is in the middle of the room), to the Middle Eastern Camel's Nose: A sandstorm was coming up so the man got off of his camel and pitched his tent. The storm it and the man heard the camel weeping. He asked they camel what was the matter and the camel said the sand stung its nose so could it put its nose in the tent? The man relented. Soon he noticed the camel was in up to its eyes. He told the camel to get out but the camel complained that the sand was getting in its eyes and could it please stay inside? The man relented. Soon the whole head of the camel was inside and taking up much room. Again the man said get out but the camel complained that the sand was filling its ears. The man relented and went to sleep. Suddenly he was kicked out of the door and the camel was all the way in the tent and wouldn't let the man back inside so there the man faced the full fury of the sandstorm all because of the camel's nose.
