His father repeatedly urges him to “run faster” and “go faster” as a woman, believed to be the child’s mom, laughs uncontrollably in the background.
The pushy pop then ups the device’s tempo and the juvenile visibly struggles to keep pace. Ku6 labelled the footage, believed to have been filmed in China last month, as “adorable.” But health experts said the stunt was in fact “highly dangerous.” Be the judge.
