although i DO think this is child abuse and i don't care if a FOUR YEAR OLD says he LIKES to run TEN MILES A DAY a FOUR YEAR OLD should NOT be ALLOWED to do so. NO ifs ands or big old butts. i don't know i'm thinking it really cannot be real. how the HELL could a four year old run 40 miles? it just cannot be possible
but hey donviti finished HIS marathon! (congratulations by the way)
Indian "marathon boy," coach run into abuse claims
BHUBANESWAR, India (Reuters) - A four-year-old child, sold by his mother for less than $20, has been dubbed India's "marathon boy" after he ran 65 km (40 miles) on Tuesday, but critics accused his coach of risking the boy's health for cash.
Budhia Singh, dressed in a white T-shirt and red shorts, covered the distance in just seven hours and two minutes, after setting out to become the youngest Indian to cover the marathon distance.
His progress was avidly followed by many of India's TV news channels. Around 300 police officers ran with him, and senior local government officials greeted him when he eventually ground to a halt.
Born in a slum in Bhubaneswar, the capital of the eastern state of Orissa, Budhia was a year old when his mother sold him for just 800 rupees ($20) after his father had died.......

I call bs on the story. A child that young cannot do that. No way in hell.
Yeah, I'm wondering about that too. If he is four that's absolutely insane. If he's five, six, seven or eight that's insane. Nine or ten that's insane. How the hell could a 4 year old body take that kind of punishment? And if he IS four then everybody in that country who had anything to do with letting him do it should be arrested. That's child abuse in my book. Premeditated murder.
Hey, you all should see the alternative to running 40 miles. I mean he would have to make 300 pair of tennis shows if he were not our there running in the sun. Or maybe he is a weaver of fine Oriental carpets. How many knots do you think he has to tie in one day to get some rice bugs for supper? Wait can't eat the bugs just the rice. Always got to think about the alternatives.
