Re: I've not seen Idi recently
SOBBING 31-stone Chris Leppard was dragged off to a mental hospital against his will by meddling social workers, a team of horses, an amateur football team, several passers-by and police.
Chris, 23, has been forcibly detained for a month because he cannot stop eating.
The authorities used powers normally used to detain mentally ill people who might harm themselves or others. The threat of a crush-type homicide was "just too great" they said.
They locked him up despite the fact neither he, his family or the local shops wanted him to go. Last night Chris’s furious mother Anne said he has no mental problems that a sound beating with broom handles on a regular basis couldn't solve and was winning his fight against the rare illness that compels him to gorge as fast as his little piggy hands allow him too.
Chris’s case was condemned by opponents of a nanny state. They asked whether others with life-threatening addictions could be next to be cured of their life-threatening addictions.
Mum Anne, 49, told of the agonising moment the ambulance came to take Chris — without warning.
She said: “The ambulance came to take Chris without warning. Chris was really upset, crying, like a little baby boo-hoo saying he didn’t want to go and that he wasn’t mental."
“We didn’t know they were coming to take him. He is being punished for being fat and ill but mostly fat. He has a physical problem. He was working well towards losing weight. We'd even thought of putting him on the Subway diet."
“He asked social services to give him six months to prove he could lose weight. They didn't give him six days. I had stopped giving him money for food. For the first time in years we were getting somewhere. We had locked food cupboards, that was a big step.”
Chris, of Hastings, East Sussex, suffers from an incurable condition called Fat-Bastarditis. It means he can’t tell when his stomach is full so instead of just taking a rough guestimate at when he thinks he's hit 2000 calories he just eats everything in sight like the fat ****ing waste of ****ing space that he is and could eat so much that it will kill him.
East Sussex social services intervened after Chris appeared in a BBC1 documentary last month.
Anne said she asked for the six months grace to prove he could lose weight. He was already on a diet and exercising.
But the authorities shipped him off to a specialist eating disorder unit at the Eastbourne Clinic where he will be assessed for up to 28 days.
Shadow Health Minister Tim Loughton was outraged. He said: “I'm outraged. It’s a taste of things to come if the Government’s draft Mental Health Act becomes law. It will subject people who are not strictly suffering from mental illness, to sectioning.”
He later added that saying "taste" was not a deliberate pun.
Angry Libertarian Alliance spokesman Dr Sean Gabb said: “What on earth justifies the intervention of the police and compels him to have medical treatment?”
When it was explained that Chris weighed 31 stone Dr Sean Gabb became molified.
East Sussex County Council said “all proper procedures have been followed” — and such orders were “in the interests of that person’s health or safety or to protect other people”.

Re: I've not seen Idi recently
Also Hastings is the worst place in the world. I can see why he wanted to not do anything except eat and sit at home watching tv

Re: I've not seen Idi recently
They try to help the porker and the state is "taking over".
They let him die and the state has "failed him".

Re: I've not seen Idi recently
He is unreasonably fat though.
Surrey Police have done good here.
One less fat person means less air pressure for the rest of us.

Personally, I would have had him shipped off to the East, rather than a medical centre, but there you go.

Re: I've not seen Idi recently
For his self-esteem i would ship him to America. For curing (or death) i would ship him off to Africa.
