A third grade student from Cleveland Heights, Ohio, has been removed from his home after he grew to 218 pounds(100 kilograms), weighing nearly as much as four of his peers, the Daily Mail reported.

The severely obese eight-year-old boy was put in foster care by social workers from the Department of Children and Family Services because his mother isn't doing enough to control his weight, the state agency says.

Now, the boy requires so much medical attention.

The state agency is considering getting a personal trainer to visit his foster home so he can lose weight.(点击英国《每日邮报》查看原文)

8岁男童体重200斤

       据英国《每日邮报》报道,美国俄亥俄州克利夫兰海茨市一名3年级的小学生因为体重过重,而被强制离开家。他的体重已经达到218磅(200斤),是同龄小孩的4倍。

       当局称,这个体重“严重超重”的8岁小男孩已经被送到收养所,由儿童及家庭服务部社工暂为抚养,因为他的妈妈没有能够很好的控制他的体重。

       如今,男孩需要更多的药物治疗。

       官方正在考虑给他配一位私人教练来帮助他减肥。
