Mother who fought anorexia furious after son branded overweight
A mother from Bath whose anorexia was triggered by a school nurse calling her overweight says she is furious her four-year-old son has suffered the same fate after a school test.
'How could anyone think that my son was overweight?'
Jack McKenzie was branded as overweight when a school nurse calculated his BMI from his height and weight.
His mum Emily hopes to begin a campaign to find a different way of measuring children.
Emily says her son is growing, and the measurement reflects badly on parents, causing some to form unfair opinions of them.
