| Does anyone believe what the host family in Egypt of the boy that lost 50 lbs.
in 4 months claimed? http://www.sunherald.com/312/story/398022.html
[The host father, Shaker Hanna, rejected McCullum's story as "a lie," suggesting that he made it up because his parents were hoping to recover some of the money they paid for his stay as compensation.
"The truth is, the boy we hosted for nearly six months was eating for an hour and a half at every meal. The amount of food he ate at each meal was equal to six people," Hanna said. He added that the boy was active, constantly exercising and playing sports.]
After seeing a picture???
I agree, I don't understand why the child wasn't changed to another family. I think a lot of people are responsible. Why did the school and teachers allow it to continue?
Maybe because he was a kid, he didn't realize how serious it was. Maybe he was afraid of getting in trouble, or something like that. Who knows? But it sounds like there were plenty of adults that should have been responsible!!!
