I think if she is
unable or incapable of caring for her children, then yes, I do - just as I would with ANY type of child neglect/abuse/what-have-you from ANY parent - but not
just because she wants to eat herself into oblivion. If she is capable of providing proper care, then of course not. I personally think she is not setting a good example - but that's my opinion.
Running along apretty's statement ... would you not want intervention if a drug addict's kid is being neglected?
When a person puts themselves out there (meaning in the public eye), EVERYONE, including government agencies (especially when the potential for danger exists) are going to watch closely. If they didn't - we'd cry that the system failed.
If she isn't thinking about her kids, maybe someone has to. But I don't think anything should be handled prematurely.
