BULLIES MADE MY 10 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER ANOREXIC
A mum has warned of the dangers of child eating disorders, after her 10-year-old daughter developed anorexia when school bullies branded her ‘FAT’. Maxine Moss, 34, watched in horror as her daughter, Jade’s weight plummeted to a deadly 2st 13lbs - the same as an average FOUR-YEAR-OLD. Despite the warning signs, doctors labelled Jade, now 12, a ‘picky eater’. Maxine, of Cannock, Staffordshire, said: “I knew the signs because I’d suffered from anorexia as a child. I begged the doctors for help, but they maintained that Jade was too young to have an eating disorder.
