Bad Food Choices - Child Abuse?

I recently read this story about a 17 year old teen who was hospitalized because all she ate was chicken nuggets.  This makes me both sad and angry!  The story says at the end that her mother first gave her nuggets at 2, her daughter wouldn't eat anything else after that, so she gave up trying.  Seriously!?!

First of all, I have a big problem with parents who say my child "won't".  YOUR child will do what you tell them to do!  If this was my child, she would have eaten something other than nuggets or she would have starved until she got hungry enough to eat something else.  I mean let's get real here.  The child would not die of starvation!  I'm sure the child would have given in eventually if her mother had not given up first.

This "mother" should be charged with child abuse!  I wonder if she can still be charged even though her child is 17 now...
