Man Asks The Internet If He Is Wrong For Putting 9-Year-Old Daughter On A Diet

It’s fairly uncommon for people to strive to be their healthiest selves. This concept of health, however, differs from one person to the next. Some individuals define healthy as consuming certain foods and exercising for a specific amount of time each week. Others simply want to feel good about themselves and their choices in life…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

Netizens have continued to ridicule a father for putting his 9-year-old daughter on a diet. When his daughter, M, was five years old, the father and his now ex-wife divorced. Following this, he relocated and only visited his daughter during breaks, but he spoke to her frequently on the phone.

After a few years, the father returned to his hometown and began seeing his daughter every other week. He did note, though, that M had begun to gain weight and decided to take action. He tried to exclude particular foods from her diet, limit her portion sizes, and accompany her to a family-friendly gym.

Unfortunately, M has developed a fear of gaining weight and of eating certain meals as a result of this. As a result, the father began to question if he was correct in placing her on a diet in the first place, and sought assistance from Redditors in February 2020. Redditors were upset with this father for “emotionally harming” his little daughter, who is still growing, and he was forced to abandon his tight diet plan.

The original poster (OP) noted in his Reddit post that when he saw his daughter in person for the first time in a long time, he realized she had gained weight. OP was concerned about the way his daughter M looked, despite the fact that it’s typical for children’s bodies to alter as they grow up.

“When I spoke with ex, she became defensive, claiming that M eats what she wants (ex is thin and healthy) and participates in a sport twice a week,” OP said. OP, on the other hand, did not believe that M exercising for 90 minutes twice a week was sufficient.

“I know it’s tougher to lose weight as you get older,” he continued, “so I decided to keep a close eye on her and do what I could during her weeks with me.” “I didn’t put her on a crash diet, but I did start using a portion control plate and packed lean lunches for her instead of allowing her to buy food.”

M’s meals were largely vegetables, yogurt, and cooked chicken breast. She also started coming to the gym four times a week with OP. “The only thing I told M about it was that we were working to get her physically fit and conscious of what she ate in the future,” OP added.

When M was requested to bring her own snacks to a birthday party, OP prepared a bag of vegetables and hummus for her. At the celebration, there would also be popcorn. M was dropped off at the party by OP, and she was picked up by his ex. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

The next day, OP explained, he spoke with his ex-wife, who was upset, and his daughter refused to look at him. M had apparently warned the other kids at the party that eating their bad treats would make them fat, and that she needed to eat vegetables to lose weight. She also turned down the popcorn and pizza that had been served.

OP clarified:

“M was crying and said she was afraid of gaining weight and making everyone hate her if she ate something nasty.”

This is a phobia that is unfortunately widespread among young girls, according to the National Eating Disorder Association. Around 40% to 60% of girls aged 6 to 12 are anxious about their weight or the possibility of becoming overweight.

OP and his ex-wife had a big fight because his ex said M was healthy and active, but OP said her body didn’t show it. “Now my ex is threatening to not bring her back to me unless I stop ’emotionally harming’ her,” OP added.

He asked Redditors for their opinions, but they promptly shut him down. Many others informed OP that if he was truly concerned about his daughter’s health, he would have taken her to see a doctor, dietitian, or nutritionist to develop an appropriate dietary plan and exercise routine for her.

Many people, however, did not believe this was the OP’s purpose. “You only worry about how she is seen by others,” one person said. “If your daughter is sobbing about her weight and afraid to eat, then you have handled this terribly,” another commenter commented. This is how ’emotional injury’ is defined. You may have the best of intentions, but something is seriously wrong here.”

Guy Fawkes’ punishment was one of the most severe in English history – here’s what happens when a body is hung, drawn and quartered

After their infamous plot to destroy parliament was foiled, Guy Fawkes and his co-conspirators received one of the most severe judicial sentences in English history: hanging, drawing and quartering. According to the Treason Act 1351 , this punishment involved…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

That you be drawn on a hurdle to the place of execution, where you shall be hanged by the neck and being alive cut down, your privy members shall be cut off and your bowels taken out and burned before you, your head severed from your body and your body divided into four quarters to be disposed of at the King’s pleasure.

This process aimed not only to inflict excruciating pain on the condemned, but to serve as a deterrent – demonstrating the fate of those who betrayed the Crown. While Fawkes reportedly jumped from the gallows – which meant he avoided the full extent of his punishment – his co-conspirators apparently weren’t so lucky.

By dissecting each stage of this medieval punishment from an anatomical perspective, we can understand the profound agony each of them endured.

Torture for confession

Before his public execution on January 31 1606, Fawkes was tortured to force a confession about his involvement in the “gunpowder plot”.

The Tower of London records confirm that King James I personally authorised “the gentler tortures first”. Accounts reveal that Fawkes was stretched on the rack – a device designed to slowly pull the limbs in opposite directions. This stretching inflicted severe trauma on the shoulders, elbows and hips, as well as the spine.

The forces exerted by the rack probably exceeded those required for joint or hip dislocation under normal conditions.

Substantive differences between Fawkes’ signatures on confessions between November 8 and shortly before his execution may indicate the amount of nerve and soft tissue damage sustained. It also illustrates how remarkable his final leap from the gallows was.

Stage 1: hanging (partial strangulation)

After surviving the torture of the rack, Fawkes and his gang faced the next stage of their punishment: hanging. But this form of hanging only partially strangled the condemned – preserving their consciousness and prolonging their suffering.

Partial strangulation exerts extreme pressure on several critical neck structures. The hyoid bone , a small u-shaped structure above the larynx, is prone to bruising or fracture under compression .

Simultaneously, pressure on the carotid arteries restricts blood flow to the brain, while compression of the jugular veins causes pooling of blood in the head – probably resulting in visible haemorrhages in the eyes and face.

Because the larynx and trachea (both essential for airflow) are partially obstructed, this makes breathing laboured. Strain on the cervical spine and surrounding muscles in the neck can lead to tearing, muscle spasms or dislocation of the vertebra – causing severe pain.

Fawkes brought his agony to a premature end by leaping from the gallows. Accounts from the time tell us:

His body being weak with the torture and sickness, he was scarce able to go up the ladder – yet with much ado, by the help of the hangman, went high enough to break his neck by the fall.

This probably caused him to suffer a bilateral fracture of his second cervical vertebra, assisted by his own bodyweight – an injury known as the “hangman’s fracture” .

Stage 2: Drawing (disembowelment)

After enduring partial hanging, the victim would then be “drawn” – a process which involved disembowelling them while still alive. This act mainly targeted the organs of the abdominal cavity – including the intestines, liver and kidney, as well as major blood vessels such as the abdominal aorta.

The physiological response to disembowelment would have been immediate and severe. The abdominal cavity possesses a high concentration of pain receptors – particularly around the membranous lining of the abdomen . When punctured, these pain receptors would have sent intense pain signals to the brain, overwhelming the body’s capacity for pain management . Shock would soon follow due to the rapid drop in blood pressure caused by massive amounts of blood loss.

Stage 3: quartering (dismemberment)

Quartering was also supposed to be performed while the victim was still alive. Though no accounts exist detailing at what phase victims typically lost consciousness during execution, it’s highly unlikely many survived the shock of being drawn.

So, at this stage, publicity superseded punishment given the victim’s likely earlier demise. Limbs that were removed from criminals were preserved by boiling them with spices. These were then toured around the country to act as a deterrent for others.

Though accounts suggest Fawkes’s body parts were sent to “the four corners of the United Kingdom”, there is no specific record of what was sent where. However, his head was displayed in London .

Traitor’s punishment

The punishment of hanging, drawing and quartering was designed to be as anatomically devastating as it was psychologically terrifying. Each stage of the process exploited the vulnerabilities of the human body to create maximum pain and suffering, while also serving as a grim reminder of the consequences of treason.

This punishment also gives us an insight into how medieval justice systems used the body as a canvas for social and political messaging. Fawkes’s fate, though unimaginable today, exemplifies the extremes to which the state could, and would, go to maintain control, power and authority over its subjects.

The sentence of hanging, drawing and quartering was officially removed from English law as part of the Forfeiture Act of 1870 .
