Answer 1

Did you even read this first???

What the photographs actually depict (according to the operator of the site that originally published them) is performers hustling money from onlookers by staging an act, one in which a subject seemingly allows himself to be run over by a heavy vehicle and then emerges unscathed. (Note the man with the microphone in the first picture, who drums up business and describes the action for observers. Also note the blanket placed under the boy's arm — not a consideration persons intent on severely punishing a lawbreaker would be likely to provide.) This a common illusion, variations of which are performed by many magicians and accomplished through a variety of means, with no lasting harm done. That the subject is a small boy who grimaces his way through the stunt is all part of the act, intended to elicit sympathy and extra cash — despite his contorted facial expressions, the boy is not seriously hurt.

Answer 2

I beleive this is a stunt. He is not being held down or anything. The person who trully believes this just wants to rally some people and go with a popular idea. Yes child abuse is wrong, but please research your facts some more rather than looking at a website. The internet is 95% false information. Don't give into common idea. Give into the Right idea.

Answer 3

unfortunately most of the US news is of a similar nature, except that they leave off the part where they tell you this is a stunt or only part of what the person said. With enough footage these days, you can make a person sound like they're saying anything, ala Wag the Dog.

Americans are so easily fooled and usually too lazy to verify any thing they hear.
