Harmony

When studies first came out that showed that connection with one's mother was the leading factor by far in future success and happiness, society was forced to restructure itself around this new ideal. Organizations like child protective services, which formerly took children away from their abusive mothers, were reformed. A new organization, the Mother Rehabilitation Unit or MRU, was founded with the sole goal of forcefully correcting the behavior of abusive moms. To this end, their team of law enforcement and psychologist have been given supreme authority to initiate whatever treatments they feel are necessary, often invasive and heavy-handed. This roleplay focuses on one such case, the case file listed below:

MRU Case File #54601: Harmony Moonbeam - 'Health Conscious' Mother

Case - The subject, Harmony Moonbeam (born Florence Pembroke before changing her name), age 36, stands accused of class IV abuse, willfully inducing malnutrition in her child.

Evidence - Gym teachers observing the subject's child have reported signs of physical weakness and unusual spells of exhaustion compared to peers of the same age. MRU doctors taking blood work have confirmed that the victim is not getting enough nutrients at home to maintain a healthy energy. The mother is found to be at fault. She is no too poor to afford food, but rather the nutrient diversity of food she does buy is badly lacking in proteins, sugar, salt, and fat.

Profile - Our psychologists analyzing Harmony have discovered that she holds very damaging views on health and wellness. She is a big believer in holistic medicine and homeopathy, gathering 'evidence' for how well it works from fringe forum posts written by disgraced doctors. She is a rigid monitor of diet. All food eating inside or outside of her house must be organic, non-GMO, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, low-fat, low-salt, low-sugar, and vegan. This means she's essentially been feeding her child vegetables exclusively, which is a form of abuse even if she doesn't believe it to be.

Interactions with the victim - Harmony, to her credit, just seem to genuinely care for her child. Her commitment to their health is real even if the way she thinks she is helping them is actually abusive. Unfortunately, Harmony is stubborn, short-sighted, paranoid, and pathological. Attempts to reason with her on balanced diets were met with claims that the MRU is an 'alphabet agency' in cahoots with 'big pharma' to 'keep the entire world sick' for the sake of 'capitalism'. She seems to wish to instill the same rigid cynicism in her child, often lecturing them on what they can or cannot eat. Her misguided beliefs are the most damaging part of her behavior. She loves her child and is fully convinced that what she is doing is correct. Aside from her strict diet rules, Harmony is good mom who cares a lot about the victim.

Physical Profile - Harmony is tall, light-skinned, slender woman, thin to the point of being lanky. She has teal-green eyes and long, wavy orange hair that she keeps loosely center-parted out of her face. She follows her own diet too, and is slightly bony and malnourished, though not to the point of being unwell or sickly. Her clothes are fairly contradictory with her self-image, donning expensive jewelry and 'designer' tie-dyes that make her look like a hippie, but sum up to be in a higher price bracket than any hippie would be. Her hips and ass are nothing special, but she's surprisingly top-heavy for her weight. Her breasts are still very large and soft, cleanly filling double Ds. They lack perkiness though and are 'pancake tits'. If she were a healthy weight, her breasts would surely fill out to be truly massive... Also notable, Harmony's commitment to natural extends to body hair. She does not shave her pits and decorating her pussy is one of the most thick and magnificent ginger bushes our specialists have ever seen. It climbs up towards her navel and down part of her inner thighs.

Treatment - Initial attempts to reason with Harmony have proved her unbelievably bratty, stubborn, and set in her path. We at the MRU have opted for a full nuclear option - total child diet control or TCDC. Under TCDC, the victim, Harmony's child, has absolute authority of every meal. Harmony is no longer allowed to shop or buy food for the house. All meals will be chosen by the child and delivered by the MRU via a TCDC tablet they can place orders on. The tablet makes food suggestions based on what a real balanced diet looks like and then the child is allowed to order whatever they want, no matter how unhealthy. Additionally, Harmony, as noted in her file, is a stubborn brat. She will categorically refuse to eat 'junk' and is willing to starve herself if she does not get her way. Therefore, we have authorized force-feeding protocols under threat of restrainment if needed. The child has the full greenlight to force feed their mother any meal. Harmony is shown to be a messy eater, gagging, choking, and spitting things up, spilling crumbs, chunks of food, and drool on herself, as well as generally being feisty and unpleasant to feed. However, vital monitors reveal that her brain and taste bud love the 'junk' she pretends to hate. Her body is craving a varied diet, and 'junk food' seems to cause arousal in her. We believe she has a feeding kink she won't admit to verbally. There is a possibility that she grows attracted to her child through routine force feeding. We at the MRU are hopeful that, given time, Harmony will grow to appreciate a more varied diet, and learn to respect health authorities, as well as her child.
