Suman Khatun is a 5-year-old Indian girl who just can’t stop eating. Doctors say she will end-up eating herself to death if she doesn’t seek medical help soon.
Suman’s problems were noticed ever since she was three months old and by the time she turned two, she weighed 38kg. Now, at age five, Suman weighs over 75 kg and will continue to gain around 15 kg every year, unless her condition is cured.
Her parents earn little over $10 a week and are having problems providing the amount of food Suman needs. She eats 10 kg of rice, 5 kg of potatoes, 24 eggs and 6 liters of milk every week and often goes around asking neighbors for more food. When her family refuses to feed her, she screams, cries and even throws rocks at them.
Suman already suffers from severe respiratory issues and her family can’t afford to take her to Calcutta for a specialized consult. According to the local doctor, Suman Kathun has a malfunctioning pituitary gland and needs to see a specialist in Delhi or Mumbai, before it’s too late.

Even with a Pituitary issue, you cannot discount terrible parenting. If the kid freaks out when she is forced to miss a feeding then let her freak out then punish her like a normal kid. If she asks for food from the neighbors then dont let her outside. It called discipline people.
Here is an idea… stop feeding her!
Look what they’re feeding her….no wonder she’s a porker. Rice, chips, soda and what looks like a donut or some other type of danish.
Looks like the west has officially made it too India…

She looks like she needs to be spoken to by her parents and be told that she is obese and that if she does not stop eating then she will die or even let her family suffer also she should be fed healthy food (go on a diet) or she will also be picked on as her weight is shocking
stop feeding her that much food you are broking her in a bad habit and yes punish her if she go else where and beg for food!!!!!!!……………………
