    This Is All Kinds Of Wrong of the Day: [Trigger warning: Child abuse] Footage of a four-year-old boy from Nanjing, China, being forced to run through the snowy streets of NYC in his underwear — at times even told to lie down — was uploaded online by the boy’s father.

    According to the man’s assistant, the boy, Duo Duo, was born prematurely and had a variety of ailments, but thanks to a tough regimen of strength training he is no longer sick.

    In the video the boy can be seen crying and begging his father to pick him up, leading many to conclude that child is being abused. “You are torturing your child,” said one commenter. “”Why didn’t you run with your son naked too? You are crazy!” said another.

    His assistant, however, defended the self-proclaimed “Eagle Dad” (a male equivalent of Amy Chua’s “Tiger Mom”), saying that he agreed to run and even warmed up before with “slow running,” and “the fact that the child lived showed that he has tenacious vitality.”

About

I'm Sarah the 17 year old philosopher (well, not really)...
~~

I love to think creatively and fashion stories in my head. I also like to dab a bit 'o paint here and there and somehow make landscapes, though I can't forget about my buddy music. I embrace most forms of music, including all types of foreign song, but I also handle the performing aspect of music: I used to take drum and piano lessons, and combining that makes me the Marimba player in my high school's Marching Band.
So yeah, basically a Right-Brainer. :)
___________
I also do a lot of "manly" stuff, according to my friends. Taekwondo for one, I love excercising. People around me think I'm a rough-and-tumble girl who is a little off-kilter. I am okay with this. ^^
