Is it too late to help my morbidly obese daughter?

My daughter is 15 years old but has recently climbed up to over 400 pounds. She's seen multiple professionals but continues to gain weight. Is it too late?

She's 15, [i]of course[/i] it's not too late. Just keep trying things please, the stakes are very high
@BlueVeins She didnt do anything before, what makes you think she will now?

She needs to send her child to a shrink, get her to live with another family member that actually can parent, and get herself counseling.

That "parent" is no parent and has failed.

@TallMtnMedic She's already taken the kid to multiple doctors; how is that not something? You're being ridiculous.
@BlueVeins Recently? What about before?
Where was she before bc no parent actually lets their kid that big without a lot of Jerry Springer.
Try being a parent sometime and let your child gets 400+ lbs.

@TallMtnMedic I have been taking her to doctors ongoingly since she was 13. It's difficult to control her weight when she isn't always cooperative.

@NorahWhite You are the adult. Kids under the roof of adults do not have any choices except the ones granted to them by the adult.

What kind of parents lets kids make the decisions?
Kids don't know how to wipe their butts yet certainly not make lasting health decisions.
