I too think your friend should contact the child's ped if concerned about this. Forcing a child to eat is NOT the answer. I had similiar issues with my oldest. Why would you think this is abuse or neglect? Keep in mind a child's stomach is the size of his little fists. What we think they need to eat and what they actually need to eat are two completely different things.
