Two “severely overweight” teenage children have been taken into care after Fitbit trackers and a gym membership paid for by their local council failed to help.
A family court judge ruled the pair should be placed into long-term foster care after council social services raised concerns about their weight.
Describing the case as “very sad and unusual”, Judge Gillian Ellis said the children came from a “loving family” and that their parents met many of their basic needs.
However, the parents did not seem to understand the seriousness of concerns raised by social services staff, she said, and had failed to “set boundaries” or “promote healthy eating and exercise”.
