Actually, this is kind of old, I read a followup article on it.
The media attention cause enough complaints to where social services finally intervened and the kid was taken away from her mom. She went to the hospital and they finally started figuring out what the fuck is going on with it.
I forget the whole thing and how much of a medical condition was causing it, but long story short:
*They finally got her to stop overeating and start shedding massive amounts of weight *The Mom finally had a wakeup call when they took her kid. She knew it was fucked up but couldn't say no to anything her daughter asked for so she kept buying her food. *They didn't take her daughter away entirely, the mom is going to counseling now that she realizes what she was doing was hurting her daughter and she's learning how to be a stricter parent and all that. *The girl is actually down to normal weight. She's 10 or 12 now and looks normal except for loose skin flaps hanging off her arms and elbows, which they'll remove eventually. There was a picture.
I read a fucking issue of some generic celebrity gossip trashrag for this because I was stuck somewhere with literally nothing else to do. Now /gif/ can benefit, you're welcome. Sort of happy ending!
