10-stone girl, five, taken into care in Newport
A five-year-old Newport girl was taken into care after her weight reached more than 10 stone.
The girl weighed 10st 5lbs (66.1kg) - more than three times the weight of a healthy child her age - in August 2012, and she was put into foster care.
The information was obtained by The Sunday Times in a Freedom of Information request.
Newport council said a thorough assessment of the child and family is always considered in cases like these.
