In your case, had you been threatened with arrest and seizure of your child, you might have been tempted to force your child to eat out of fear! You could have easily crossed over the line into downright abuse!
The same goes in the other direction - parents may be tempted to deny the child food causing the child to be hungry and fear the loss of food.
Who is the government or the doctor to intrude like this? Will they take responsibility if you get over-eager to follow their commands?

The kid definatively has a medical problem. Is making the medical problem a criminal issue the best answer.
