This is the world’s heaviest child
A 10-YEAR-OLD who has become the world’s fattest child is being put on a crash diet as his parents are afraid he’ll die.
Arya Permana weighs 192kg and is categorised as morbidly obese.
His rapid weight-gain has forced him to quit school because he can no longer physically walk.
Arya eats five meals a day, consisting of rice, fish, beef, vegetable soup and Tempeh — a traditional soy patty — which is normally enough to feed two adults.

Due to his astonishing weight, his parents have been unable to find clothes that fit him, leading to Arya wearing just a sarong.
But now his parents are attempting to cut his diet — for fear he might die.
His mother Rokayah Somantri said: “My son is growing up at a rapid rate and I am worried for his health.

“I do not know any other way to stop him from gaining more weight than to give him less food.
“He is perpetually hungry and has an enormous diet, and can actually eat meals of two adults at one time.
“He is always tired and complains of shortness of breath. He only eats and sleeps, and when he is not done with both, he jumps into the bathtub and stays there for hours.
“There is no other pain than seeing your own child suffering. My son does not go to school because he cannot walk on his own and needs my around-the-clock assistance.
“He can only take small steps before he loses balance. I wish to see my son studying and playing with other kids in the neighbourhood.”
Arya, the second son of Rokayah, 35, and her husband Ade Somantri, 45, a farmer, was born at home via natural birth and weighed a normal 3.2kg.

But by the time he turned two years old, Arya had gained weight at an abnormal rate for his age.
Despite this, his parents said they were not worried initially as they were happy to see their son “healthy”.
Roykaya, who also has an older child called Ardi, added: “Arya was fatter than my first son and other children in the village but we did not think it was a matter of concern.

“We were happy to see him fuller and considered him to be a happy, healthy child.
“But it was only a few years later when he bloated and his weight went out of control, we realised he was suffering from a disorder and needed medical attention.”
Rokayah and Ade took Arya to several doctors in their village in Cipurwasari in West Java, Indonesia, but surprisingly, doctors did not find anything abnormal about his alarming weight.

Dad Ade, who makes $180 a month, said: “They asked us to take him to better hospitals if we think he needs medical attention.
“I have spent money beyond my capacity on his treatment but I am a poor farmer and making ends meet is a big task for me.

“I have insufficient money to buy food to fulfil his large appetite. I borrow money so that he can eat. Of course, I cannot keep him starving.
“I am exhausted now and I cannot afford expensive hospitals. But I hope to see my son perfectly normal one day.”

The helpless parents have now put Arya on a diet of brown rice in the hope of controlling his weight.
Rokayah explained: “No mother wants to stop feeding her children but I am unfortunate and helpless.
“I have started putting him on a brown rice diet. I am not sure if it helps, but this is the only thing I can do to stop him from growing bigger.”

Why you should tell your kids when they suck at something
AUSTRALIA it’s time we stop lying to our youth or we are going to end up with a generation of entitled, narcissistic dickheads; unprepared for life’s many challenges.
What I’m saying is: I don’t think you should tell your kids they’re good at something that they’re clearly rubbish at.
Go on, I’ll wait for you to start formulating your angry comments. I have only one request, when you’re launching the change.org petition to have my kids removed from my care, can you please use this photo.

We need to stop making congratulatory statements that fail to reflect their true ability, or in some cases lack of any ability. There’s a difference between praising your spawn for TRYING and congratulating them for a subpar, lacklustre, embarrassing to the family name, performance.
I was at my youngest child’s’ end of term assembly this week. She’s a member of the school rock band and they performed Beat It by Michael Jackson. About eight small people were on stage ranging from 9 to 12 years old and to quote the great man himself: it was BAD.
Imagine the Children of the Corn crossed with zombie sloths and your Grandmother when she’s asleep (or if she is no longer with us, that works too) and you’ll start to appreciate the level of engagement I’m talking about on stage.
Finally when it was over, another parent turned to me and said: “That was fantastic, they’re so talented.”
NO WELL MEANING WOMAN! NO, IN THAT PARTICULAR INSTANCE THEY WERE S**THOUSE!
Something in me snapped. I know that she was being kind and that she knew my daughter was involved in the monstrosity we’d all just endured, but enough was enough.
“No it wasn’t, it was rubbish. Michael Jackson would’ve been turning in his grave,” I squawked at her.(Assuming MJ is actually dead, of which I am dubious. But that’s a whole other column).
The lady recoiled as I may have delivered the line in a slightly passionate manner (read: yelled it), she smiled and slowly walked away from me with both hands raised, as I imagine you would treat a bear should you stumble upon one in the wild.
I waited for Odie to appear to ask her what had happened. The thing is, my kid is capable of epic DIY rock eisteddfods. She has prior form, excellent prior form.
We’re talking about someone who as a 3-year-old choreographed an entire routine to Lady Gaga’s Just Dance. Complete with a costume she’d fashioned herself using tinfoil, sparkly pipe cleaners and black eyeliner, she also managed to coerce the dog into being a backing dancer.
She can perform the Single Ladies routine move perfect in nine inch heels. She’s of my loins for God’s sake! (Please refer to the change.org photo for context if you’re not across my work.)

She appeared from backstage and ran over to me, I gave her a hug and we locked eyes. I squinted mine a little and said:
“Talk to me about the Beat it situation.”
Odie: “What?”
Em: “Well, do you think it was the best thing you’ve ever done?”
Odie: “No, not the best but Mia’s Mum said we were good!”
Em: “Mia’s Mum LIED! Your singing was fine, I’m proud that you even had the balls to get on stage in front of 500 people but you didn’t acknowledge any of those people. You looked dead on the inside! I’ve seen you give better performances on the Wii at home.”
She pulled away from me, studied my face, saw that I was serious and then did a cartwheel because she is a 9-year-old girl and they pull that move out anywhere at any time. She then came back over, sat on my lap and said:
Odie: “Yeah … We got told to stand still. I wanted to dance, but we were told to focus on the singing. Next time I think I am going to just dance anyway. I was bored on stage and I was singing.”
Em: “Good. Because that was REALLY crap.”
Odie: “Yes Mum I get it!”
Em: “OK, the drummer was good though, and the guitarist but you …”
Odie: “MUM!”
Em: “I love you.”
Odie: *Eye roll.
SEE! See, you guys. She didn’t fall apart, she’s now going to try and be better! That’s a bloody win in my book. I don’t get them often but when I do I like to celebrate it and tell everyone. That’s pretty much the only reason I write this weekly column, let’s be real.
What a little legend.Source:Supplied
Prince George joined his parents at an airshow and quickly became centre of attention
BEING a British royal certainly has its benefits.
Prince George fulfilled the dreams of many young boys when he sat in the cockpit of a jet plane yesterday.
Prince William helped his son, who turns three later this month, into the Hawk aircraft used by the Red Arrows display team, as it was parked on the tarmac at the International Air Tattoo held at the Royal Air Force (RAF) base at Fairford, southwest England.
The little boy, who was wearing blue ear defenders, also sat inside a Squirrel helicopter with his mother Kate, with William sitting in the instructor’s seat.
It was the same helicopter in which the second-in-line to the throne, known formally as the Duke of Cambridge, had trained as a pilot seven years ago.

“As I suspected, Prince George was a bit overawed with the noise and being inside the helicopter,” said Flight Lieutenant Jim Hobkirk, who escorted the royals.
The little prince “was very interested in the tail rotor. I imagine the duke has told him about helicopters because he knew what it was. He kept saying ‘tail rotor’,” he said.
After being helped out of the helicopter by William, George reached out to be carried by Kate.
She took him for a walk around the aircraft, with the Prince pointing at parts of it and the airfield.
“They seemed very relaxed,” Flt Lt Hobkirk added.

“The Duke said he missed flying, he wishes he could fly more and he said he was envious of me.
“I think the Duchess was concerned with trying to make the young prince happy.”
It was the first time George, the eldest of William and Kate’s two children, had accompanied them on an official royal engagement in Britain.
