Lauren Badminton, 33, blasted the local authority after receiving a letter from health officials
A mum has blasted her local council after health officials classed her five-year-old daughter as 'overweight'. Lauren Badminton, 33, from Shiremoor is furious after receiving the letter from North Tyneside Council on Friday, June 30
The letter invited the child to attend an after-school club called 'Healthy4Life' to "help children and their families maintain a healthier weight". "When you look at the pictures, or if you pass her in a shop, or in the street, you would never look at her and think she's overweight. I have contacted the council and told them that this has got to stop.
In the letter, Ms Burke said it was not the intention to "cause any upset or distress" but went on to say that the "National Child Measurement Programme is used as an accurate way to assess this [whether a child is overweight] by using the child BMI centiles and categories."
