I really don't want this to come across like I'm knocking this girl for being overweight, I'm just not sure whether it helps prove my point that she isn't fed properly.
She is about 7/8 and in DD1's year. She came to DD1's party, as the whole year was invited. She was just dropped off late, outside, no mum or dad came in and we didn't even get a "she will be attending" text. So wasn't expecting her. She picks at the foot, claiming she is absolutely starving, she looks considerably unwell, you can see it - very pale, droopy eyes - you would notice if your DC looked 'that ill', when she had some food, she was no longer looking faint and played with the other children. Party finished at 3 pm, this was the other week, btw. No person came to pick her up until 4-5 ish, I had to get her mum's number off another child's mum, I didn't have a contact number until a mum gave it to me (I really wasn't impressed). She asked me "can I have dinner to tonight" and I was a bit like what do you normally have and she says "if my mum remembers..." It's all odd and definitely something I am not comfy with. However, a very close friend (parent of DD1's friend) made the comment of her not looking like a child who isn't well nourished. However, AIBU to think it shouldn't matter what she looks like, and that the signs are there?

I think a little girl isn't getting the care she needs (regarding enough food) but she's overweight.
