I am wondering if my thesis statement sound solid?
I am doing a research paper on child’s obesity. my goal is to persuade the adults around the child to pay attention to child’s health.
Thesis statement: Due to child’s feeble mind, adults are responsible for child’s heath, they should guide the child to proper diet and physical activies.

How old are you? Do you understand the assumption made by calling a child’s mind feeble? Is English your native tongue? (children’s obesity; statement sounds defendable. etc.)
As children are feeble-minded individuals, they cannot be held fully responsible for maintaining their health. Adults must set the standard for proper diet and exercise for their children to follow.
Look up feeble-minded in the dictionary and it says lacking normal mental powers, mentally retarded, and stupid. Although this may apply to many of my supervisors, I think you might seek better wording to describe the mental capacties of children in general.
Maybe something like: “With the wide range of distractions and availability of unhealthy food it is important for a parent to monitor the behavior of their children.”
That is still bad. I just woke up.
@Jp :That is far superior to the querent’s statement. (The idiom is “availability of unhealthy foods.”)
I would change “feeble” to “undeveloped” or “immature”
