>A forensic autopsy report says the boy was last seen by his primary care doctor in February 2024 when he was referred to a pediatric endocrinologist, whom he never saw.“It was reported that the decedent’s diet was potato chips and fries because of texture issues,” Deputy Medical Examiner John A. Bechinski wrote in a forensic autopsy report.Police and Children’s Protective Services reported the home was “absolutely disgusting” with piles of trash throughout it.>“There was trash on the floor throughout the residence. It was so extreme, I could not tell if there was carpet or wood floors,” one township police officer wrote in a case report.“The residence was absolutely disgusting and can’t accurately be described in words,” another officer wrote in a supplemental report.>Four dogs in the home needed medical attention, police said, and a single bathroom’s toilet was nonfunctioning and filled with feces.>Police reports say Casper was autistic and did not attend school. His 5-year-old sister was taken from the home by Children’s Protective Services.Damien O’Brien told police he worked as a cloud engineer for Delta Dental in Okemos. He reported his son liked to watch videos, disliked contact with water, which made bathing difficult, and was prone to fits of anger.
>“Nobody knew these kids existed,” said Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton. “I don’t want to charge parents with neglect or murder. I didn’t have any choice.”MLive-The Flint Journal could not immediately reach Elias J. Fanous, an attorney representing Damien and Jessica O’Brien in the case, on Friday, June 26.Both parents are scheduled to return to district court for a probable cause conference on July 2.>Court records allege the O’Briens failed to care for their son, who was immobile, and failed to take him to a doctor despite the family having health insurance.>Prosecutors also charge the couple with failing to assist their son’s morbid obesity and failing to provide a safe and clean environment for him.According to an obituary published after Casper O’Brien’s death, the boy “was a bright, loving young boy whose joyful spirit touched everyone around him.”“He loved watching Super Monsters, especially his favorite character, Frankie Mash,” the notice reads.

>>537907984Damn son, you're heavier than me (though only by a couple of pounds)
Do americans need coca cola to survive?

>>537907984Every kind of obesity should be flagged at school; parents need to change their diets. We also need humiliation rituals for fat kids at school until they stop eating too much.Punish the class collectively until the fat kid loses weight; reward the class if they improve.

>>537918440Flint Twp =/= City of FlintTownship is a suburb off to the west. Used to be the commercial/residential hub for the industrial city workers to live and shop and whatnot. Now its just... well, I mean look what we're discussing here.
>>537910339>>537910395Also simply just cheap junk food, snacks, desserts, pastries, the like.French fries, pizza, chicken nuggets and tenders (including supermarket-bought frozen ones to heat up at home, and such shitty unhealthy premade meals in general), fast food in general, then shit like potato chips, snack crisps in general (including corn-based like Doritos, Tostitos, Cheetos, whatever), Hostess and other mass-produced pastries like donuts, cupcakes, muffins, cookies, Oreos, mini Swiss Rolls, sugary cereals, candy. Etc.Besides the huge sugar rush and liquid calories of soda, and other sweet sugary juice drinks; including fake “juice” (artificially-flavored Sunny D or whatever).The story in the OP itself says “potato chips and fries” were the biggest part of his diet though, according to the autopsy, but my list is for fat people in general with access to popular Western ultra-processed foods.> “It was reported that the decedent’s diet was potato chips and fries because of texture issues,” Deputy Medical Examiner John A. Bechinski wrote in a forensic autopsy report.
