A young mum was shocked after receiving a letter telling her her four-year-old daughter was overweight.
Lauren Ormesher, of Skelmersdale, is campaigning for an end to BMI weight checks after she got a letter saying her daughter Maggie was overweight following a weight check at school. Maggie, 4, who dances every week has recently been crowned the 'petite' Lancashire winner of a national pageant celebrating diversity called Miss Diamond UK.
Lauren, 32, told LancsLive she'd discovered many other parents had the same ordeal after posting about the incident online. She said: “We got a letter home saying she’s overweight – I put a post up on Facebook and it turns out a lot of kids all over the country got this letter saying they’re overweight.
