What are you proposing?
for many years i've proposed parents losing social welfare benefits if their child is a truant or disruptive in school
same could apply to all the social ills (criminal activity, drug usage, obesity, etc)
then the question becomes what risky behavior/bad decision making should be included
*ETA: my ultimate solution is the elimination of the nanny state, but this is a step towards that

So only poor kids whose family is on welfare should be protected from this form of "child abuse?" If its truly abuse, how are you going to protect the other kids?

Sure it may be disproportionate, but its not like childhood obesity is only a problem in poor families. You are operating under a false assumption.

that seems extreme, kid cuts up in school parent looses welfare?
now I don't think welfare is good for anyone, but that just seems extreme.
