National Enquirer: Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson Still Isn’t Potty Trained?
October 26, 2012 by Hollywoodite
The family from Here Comes Honey Boo Boo is still on the press tour that’s mostly consisted of reacting to various media calling them “trash” or Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson ”falling asleep” and declaring that she hates being on television while being interviewed by Dr Drew.
And, on this press tour, alleges the National Enquirer, it was apparent underneath one of the seven-year-old’s outfits that she was still wearing diapers. Leading to source conjecture and anecdotal evidence that the child is not yet potty trained.
This story comes from a guy named Caleb Clark. If the name sounds familiar, it should. It’s Anna “Chickadee” Shannon’s ex-boyfriend, the alleged father of baby Kaitlyn, who previously spoke to the Enquirer about how his paternal rights were revoked for not agreeing to a cameo on the family’s reality show. He explained, in the previous story, he was allowed to visit the baby once or twice. Which may explain why he was at the family home months ago in this story but apparently hasn’t been back since.
Even though she’s a precocious 7-year-old, Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson was recently photographed wearing a diaper!
The pint-size reality TV star’s pull-up was plain to see when she appeared with her mother, June “Mama” Shannon, to receive the title of “Miss Extra” at The Grove mall in Los Angeles.
And that wasn’t the only time she’s been spotted sporting a diaper.
“I was at their home a year ago and Alana was running around the house wearing nothing but a diaper then,” Caleb Clark, ex-boyfriend of Alana’s oldest sister Anna “Chickadee” Shannon, told The Enquirer. “I was wondering, ‘Isn’t she toilet trained yet? What’s wrong with these people?’”
Experts agree that Alana should have passed through that stage by now.
“It’s abnormal to still be in diapers at that age,” leading pediatrician Dr. Sandy Newmark told The ENQUIRER. “After ruling out any possible medical cause, I’d seek psychological help for the child.”
Most parents in America potty-train their children between the age of 2 and 3, added Dr. Carla Lundblade, a licensed clinical therapist in Beverly Hills.
“This is certainly out of the norm,” she said of the Here Comes Honey Boo Boo star. “I think the whole family structure needs to be examined. I’d try to figure out who is parenting this child and why they’re contributing to stunting her development.” – via National Enquirer.
