I heard this kid and dad interviewed on the Howard Stern show and this has to be some form of child abuse. It's really sad when parents push/use their kids to fulfill the things they couldn't accomplish in life.

i agree with merc this is kinda sick and grotesque. its like someone stuck a kids head on a grown mans body, then forced him to pose kiddie porn style. yecch

Jeah poor strong fucken boy! Ill smack poor little fucken boy out! and stuff. momma said knock ugly strong kid out! Smack littel tenyearold up, force him to eat zum PIE! (lots of it, pie goood) Gettin fat little boy instead, little boy weighin more than elephant!! That kind of stuff impresses me, not little meatplug!

if only i were that strong at that age

Ok...to the guy who said that kid is cute......are you high or something???? That kid is anything BUT CUTE.....i am somehow even scared or...i don't know...that's creepy....that kid must have a lot of problems when he goes out and play hide and seek or some of those games....

I have a feeling that Richard Sandrak had larger muscles at six then the schwantz's on all the guys running off at the mouth. Sounds like your all a bit jealous that you can't get off your fat ass and get into shape. Your posts are a clear indication of "leveling." What is leveling you ask? It's when someone, such as yourselves, abuses another both emotionally and verbally to get that person dowon to your level - low...Grow Up People!

I believe everyone here has a good point at some degree. I might as well say a some things myself.

Of course this is another one of those rich people competions that we see on TV or read about, but is it all that bad? That is the question.

I admitt that the apperance of a 10-year-old kid built up outta his mind isn't exactly easy on the old eyes. I do agree with some of the comments on possible abuse. I watch the shows sometimes, and I cannot believe how some of the parents are treating their children, for trying to win a friggin competion??? Is it really worth it??

Also there are parents of the children who have attended these competions, and some of the parents were caught for the usage of Steroids on their own child.

And I do believe that their are other families who want the best in their child and want them to be successful in what they do. But what upsets me is what some parents attempt to do to their child just to get their greedy hands on the prize money. And trust me, their are cases of this I've seen many times.

I think I could take him. I have a 2500 p.s.i. punch and i set the world record for daily egg intake after training for the underground martial arts tournament, which I won in my weight class, and a class above. I was unscathed.
