Video: Chinese Parents Force 4-year-old to Run Naked in the Snow

On a vacation trip to New York City, Chinese father He Leisheng forces his four year old son to run in the snow with only underwear and shoes on.

There's crazy, then there's f&cked up, and then there's really f&cked up. This is a level above that. A man calling himself "eagle dad" uploaded this video of his son running in an 8 degree freezing, snowy blizzard (not to mention trying to get his parents to pick him up and hug him) to strengthen him. 
This isn't the only vigorous training he's given his son. When he was only 1 year old, they started making him swim in 21 degree-Celsius water.

"When the old eagle teaches its young, it takes the young eagles to the cliff side, beats them and pushes them to teach them to use their wings, and I believe I am helping my son in this way - to force him to challenge limitations and exceed his own expectations," said He.

He said on Tuesday that his son, He Yide, was diagnosed with cerebral palsy because he was born a premature baby, which could hinder the intellectual development of a child. To make the son as healthy as others, He drew up a training schedule and rigorously adhered to it. The training included swimming, hiking and jogging but not running naked.

“He agreed to go out to run in the snow naked or else it wouldn’t be possible for me to take his clothes off,” said He, who runs a bed linen company in the eastern city of Nanjing. 

The father said he is confident in this style of education because he majored in education inuniversity and worked as a teacher for seven years before opening his bed linen company in Nanjing, Jiangsu province. And He said his son now has scored very high on an IQ test.

The video is especially disturbing around :48 when He Yide is forced to lay on the ground by his mother and father. How they can completely ignore the fact he's crying and begging to be picked up and He's response is simply "hurry up"?

Someone should strip his parents naked somewhere in Siberia and try to find his way back to Nanjing.
