Agreed.
Child abuse, no question.

I'd be interested to know the background and family history involved here. Reminds me of the case of that increidbly overweight pre-teen that died a year or two back and the fact and fiction of the case were flying all over the place.

The guy behind me just wrote up that story. And we've got an even better one, rewritten from the London Sun. Can't find the photo online, but found the text on Nexis:

The Sun

July 8, 2003

LENGTH: 47 words

HEADLINE: FLAMING STRANGE LESSON FOR GIRL OF 5

BODY:
A GIRL of five leaps into a pool after being set on fire during class -at a stunt school.

Little Romane Dubois (left), wrapped in fire-proof bandages, was unhurt when she was dragged out of the water at Le Locle, Switzerland.

She hopes to become a film stunt woman.

on the bright side, I suppose, the fat kid won't have to live through tooo many years of the anguish of his abuse.

Hey grant, I was wondering about the incredibly reportage style of the text. Like, no judgement or mention of the unbelievably twisted state of this essentially horribly deformed, defenceless being.

WTF is up with that?? (This conversational tic is proving infectious)

ooohh mmyyy gooddd. That is awful. Almost as much as the weight is concerned- i mean, they are wrestling 4 and 5 year olds? Not entirely sure what crime they would be commiting, but there should be a new one made. That kid is 4 years old, and one and a half times my weight. *shudder*

Anyone remember the baby-fighting thing on Blue Jam? "Sometimes we'll just tape modelling knives to their fingers and just let 'em go..."

This is unbelievably fucked. Who the fuck gets their jollies watching fat toddlers wrestling? Christ.
