This article will probably get a few people angry.

It's about a 9-year-old girl with a mental age of about three months.  Her parents have convinced doctors to surgically alter her to keep her a child forever.

Hmm.  Forced eternal childhood... doesn't sound pretty to me.  Though I suppose at least the girl in the real-life case lacks the ability to understand her situation.

the forced childhood is a matter of her mental condition. her size is a relatively trivial matter in comparison.

OK, that actually *does* make sense, and you stated it concisely. Well done!
