Meet a 10-year-old boy who has been named the world’s fattest child –
Arya Permana weighs 192 kilograms, he cannot walk and constantly suffers from shortness of breath –
The boy has an enormous diet and can actually eat meals of two adults at one time
The boy, from Cipurwasari village, in West Java, Indonesia, has been named the world’s fattest child, whose impressive physique made the international headlines.
According to his parents, Arya eats five meals a day including rice, fish, beef, vegetable soup and soy patty and is constantly hungry. The child wears only a sarong, a large piece of fabric often wrapped around the waist, as other clothes simply do not fit him.
He doesn’t go to school, cannot walk and has a series of morbid obesity related complications.
His mother Rokayah, who hopes that one day her son would be able to live a normal life, said: “He has an enormous diet and can actually eat meals of two adults at one time.He is always tired and complains of shortness of breath. He only eats and sleeps and when he is not done with both, he jumps into the bathtub and stays there for hours. My son is growing up at a rapid rate and I am worried for his health.do not know any other way to stop him from gaining more weight than to give him less food. He can only take small steps before he loses balance. I wish to see my son studying and playing with other kids in the neighbourhood.”
