Would you feed a child raw sugar?

Question

Bit of background first, finally got residence of 2 out of my 3 children due to me ex physically and emotionally abusing them.

Due to her being on bail for the abuse, she can only see them at a contact centre and supervised by social services.

I have found out that during contact over the past 2 weeks, my ex has been tipping sugar into a cup and making my 6 year old daughter eat it.

Social services have said this is a parenting issue and I should be telling my ex not to do it.

I feel it is an abuse issue, feeding my daughter sugar to make her hyper in the hope I will find her hard to cope with.

Whats everyones views on this?

If you can still read my previous questions, you can see some of the background to this.

Many thanks.

Answer 1

no. wtf. thats disgusting.

i've read all your questions and i'm horrified.

DO SOMETHING!

don't let ur ex near those children!

Answer 2

Never i would see this as abuse and neglect and i would persue social services to take it further as this woman doesnt deserve to see her kids...

Answer 3

It certainly sounds abusive, maybe go back to social services and say how you feel this is very wrong and could they at least document your concerns, as you are very worried for your children's welfare when your ex has contact with them.  I would also suggest you maybe keep a diary of anything that concerns you about your ex's behaviour when she is with the children.

Answer 4

NO, I would feed raw sugar to my child. I would try to talk to your ex first.

Answer 5

Your ex sounds nuts mate,stop her from doing this,to much raw sugar can cause diabetes,it usually happens to older people but it still can't be good for a young child,talk to social services about this.

Answer 6

wtf, sugar is so bad for kids.  in any form, much less raw. i don't care what your situation, i just hope your children continue to not be abused. and if her specific intentions are to make your child hyper and hard to deal with that is abuse!!  sugar is bad for teeth, bad for digestion, bad for long term health.  I look at everything i feed my daughter, not that i wont feed her some things sweet evey now and again, but i really look at the ingredients!!!!  diabetes runs in my family big time as well as obeseaty

Answer 7

stop her eating it.

its very bad for her and could also cause obesity

Answer 8

That's stupid parenting. She's immature. I don't like giving my children things with lots of sugar in it, and she's giving her cups full? Tell your daughter NOT to drink it. What a weirdo that lady is.

Answer 9

I would go to court and stop the mom from seeing them and if that doesnt work then stay right there next to them.

Answer 10

Contact some other people within social services and get something done. Take your daughter with you to tell her story. Ask for the visits with her mother to be supervised.

Answer 11

Not personally no, sugar is really bad for a childs teeth.

Answer 12

Id get her to stop. what does she want you kids to be diabetics with bad teeth?

Answer 13

noo

Answer 14

god she sounds un-stable- i would seriously rethink whether seeing their mother was really in their best interests! alternatively ask the social workers to watch her more closely  

Answer 15

wow thats cruel. Poor kid. Why didnt you get all 3. They shouldnt be seperated. I think it is a form of mental abuse. Making the kid sit there and eat surgar so if it were pepper or dirt would that make any difference? Good luck and i hope you get custody of the 3rd child.
