A young child died from obesity after his mother repeatedly brought him takeaways as he lay in a hospital bed.

The 13-year-old child was being treated in a hospital in Manchester, UK, when he passed away.

His mother would often feed the child up to 2,000 calories before lunch and would get him an unhealthy takeaway to have as a second breakfast.

She also refused to let him partake in PE in school and wouldn’t give him exercise gear to take part in the class.

The child, who is being referred to as F1, was described by teachers as ‘sunny and friendly’ and it is believed he was fighting back against his obesity.

He reportedly asked teachers to help him take part in extra health and PE classes but begged them not to tell his mum.

The child was described as morbidly obese and reportedly weighed more than 30KG at just three years of age.

Healthcare professionals contacted F1’s schools to express concerns over his weight, but the school was met with reluctance from his mother.

The mother, who has been accused of emotional abuse, said her son’s obesity was his own fault.

She said F1 was ‘lazy’ and described him as a ‘doughnut’.

She repeatedly missed health care appointments made for the teenager, leading to his poor health and spiraling obesity.

In December 2014, the child went to the doctor with pains in his joints and the doctor referred him to a pediatrician.

In February 2015, he was hospitalised for dilated cardiomyopathy and a blood clot.

He returned home but was rushed back to the hospital’s intensive care unit several weeks later.

He died in April 2015 due to his obesity.
