The boy’s parents were arrested on suspicion of child neglect and cruelty.

The doctors who monitor the boy's health and the teachers at the specialist school raised an alarm

According to Daily News, the British couple said their genes were to blame.

Mother and father assured that they had tried to keep his size under control but it did not work. Now being released on bail they claim that their child has genetic predisposition for being fat.

The boy’s dad said: "He’s always been big. He was born with shovels for hands and spades for feet. Everyone on my side of the family is big there’s nothing we can do about it. Our son’s favourite snack is steamed broccoli and he’s still big."



His mom said, “I’m chubby and the whole of my husband’s side of the family is big. Its genetics, you can be genetically fat.”

The parents claim that have tried to keep their son healthy and encouraged him to exercise.
