This 13 year old girl is huge at 5'11" and 240 pounds. I do not believe the uncle is out to hurt his neice, on the contrary, I believe is very concerned about her health....isn't that what the mother and he were arguing about? I agree that taking (kidnapping) her was NOT wise and would urge him to return the girl and get child protective services involved. This girl sounds like she has a growth hormone problem; wonder if her parents have had this checked out? I am sure the uncle will not hurt the girl.
