    Kentucky family at center of controversy after 6-year-old runs in marathon

    “Child stopping every 3mins after 20 miles, crying and emotionally distressed. Parents bribing him to finish & he’ll get Pringles. Parents seeing no issue in allowing this to happen. Everything about this is wrong!”

    With those little steps that's like an adult running about a 60 mile marathon.

    Horrible idea. I see stuff like this all the time with very young children being pushed into martial arts. Most kids under 7 don't really know what's going on and even though they are playing against other small children there is still the possibility of injury such as concussion.

    Yeah, that's too extreme. I feel sorry for that child.

    I'm jealous that they only had to offer Pringles. If be lucky to get a mile in exchange for a ps5

    Change of plans; Pringles are for winners, we're quantum leaping back to an '80s YMCA so you can get something from the Lance vending machine, assuming I have provisioned coins before dropping you off there for six hours like a library before internet access and homeless people's awareness thereof, or a mall before New Jack Swing era puffy pro sports team with black or teal in their uniform jacket wearing gangs in future Trump states.

    The kid probably needs to lose Weight from all the previous Pringle sit downs. Hopefully it’s just one and done after this moving forward
