Filmed in New York on Chinese New Year’s Eve, the video shows a man identified only as ‘eagle daddy’ stripping his son Ho Yide to his underwear and forcing him to endure temperatures of -13 degrees Celsius (8 F).

That is kind Mary. I called the parents far worse.

I’m not suggesting that this is reasonable on the part of the parents for such a young child, but is traditional for martial artists to start the new year with as much as a 3 day long 10 -12 hours a day workout— a start as you mean to go along thing. And it is done outside regardless of the weather where this is feasible. I’ve done this.
I don’t think the parents necessarily intended abuse. In fact I think these people are far less likely to be actual abusers than that crazy dragon mother woman you had the post on who screamed at her kids if they didn’t make all A grades.

Crazy dragon mother? ahahahahahhahaha
Yeah, Amy Chua is off the charts. Unfortunately, this family is following and emulating the dragon mom’s strict code for raising children according to several Chinese posters. I don’t think that this was preparation for much of anything. I do think that if the parents are trying to follow the Chua thought to raising children, this kid has just begun to see the tears fall.
