I watched the full documentary of this a few weeks ago. It was very bizarre. The adoptive father had very strange beliefs, to say the least. Not to mention highly dangerous. I thought it was so sad at the part where the little boy just about completed that big run he was put in for, and was on the verge of collapse, and yet was still paraded by the adoptive father like some sort of sick trophy. I have to say though, what an amazing ability that little boy had to be able to run like that. If chanelled and managed correctly, it could be of enormous benefit to him in later life.

yes amazing he could run that distance and without water. i thought he was going to die at the end though, it was shocking. i gave a little cheer when the adoptive dad was arrrested for child explotation.
