A BOY aged 10 who weighs 17 stone fears has said he fears he will die unless he is able to lose weight.

Kyon Fritz Marriot began putting on weight when he was seven as a result of teasing at school and began comfort eating, which led to more bullying.

In 2014 Kyon went on an NHS nine-month dietary programme at a London clinic his weight stabilised.

But Kyon, who is 5ft 1in and has a 47in waist, is now morbidly obese and 13st heavier than the average 10-year-old and too big to wear school uniform.

“I just want to be a normal 10-year-old. I just want help,” he told the Sunday Mirror.

“People at school call me fat boy, burger boy or Homer Simpson. They kick and headbutt me. I feel like a prisoner. I can’t go out and live a normal life.”

Kyon, from South London, is believed to be Britain’s most obese primary school child said he feels like a “slave” to his out-of-control eating.

Doctors say he will be offered a bariatric op, which costs the NHS up to £10,000, after he turns 12.

His mum Nadine, 44, says he locks himself in the bathroom home for secret half-hour binges, hiding empty crisp packets and wrappers behind the sink and in his bathrobe pockets.

“I am scared for my child. I am scared that if obesity doesn’t kill him, the bullies will," she said.

“I live in fear that if his weight doesn’t destroy his health he will end up stabbed or beaten to death by the bullies who are making his life hell.

“When I first saw he had been stealing food, my heart broke. Now every time I hear the fridge door open I panic.”
