In terms of what constitutes enough abuse to justify removal from a home, I don't think there's a hell of a difference between a parent who endangers a kid by beating or neglecting it and one who so monstrously overfeeds their child it has severe health problems at an incredibly young age as a result. Like I said, spend all the tax money needed--even raise my taxes by a modest amount--to train and help the parents hold on to the kid; but yes, if the parent is so severely harming it, it may be safer even in our crappy foster care system.
