With many Downs suffers, they also have hormonal and chemical imbalances which tends to make them much more prone to being obese, even without overeating. Sluggish thyroids mean for sluggish metabolisms. Being fat isn't always about gluttony. Sometimes it IS actually medical.
Does not look like downs to me.. I know 3 people with downs children..

And I have NEVER seen a downs child that is that obese..

Even if you have thyroid issues and your metabolism is fast, you can still get your kid up off the couch and out on a bike or in the park or something..

Theres a difference between being a lazy fat slob, and being fat and being in shape even with a weight problem..
