State intervention "ideally will support not just the child but the whole family, with the goal of reuniting child and family as soon as possible. That may require instruction on parenting," said Ludwig, who wrote the article with Lindsey Murtagh, a lawyer and a researcher at Harvard's School of Public Health."
That's what scares me, states are broke, now we add more debt. In the end it may be cheaper than medicare. First, they should make the parents pay all cost if they have the money, if they can buy all that food they should.
Why severe cases are a problem, 40% of youth today are generally overweight. They say this will cause a huge problem for medicare as they will be a diseased generation in their 30's.
In the end it won't amount to much. I see big lawsuits going all the way to the supreme court if any law passes, millions in lawyer fees, government studies, red tape, etc...Like most things it will be a big waste.
