MMA Fight Girls Wallpaper

ABC’s 20/20 did a special on Children fighting overseas. Children as young as 5 years old fight and are bet on, in professional Muay Thai fights in Thailand. Parents allow their children to do it for the money. A successful child fighter can put food on the table and siblings through school. The video documents two young (8 years old) female children who fight in Thailand.

Stam wakes up early each morning and runs three miles before going to School. After school she runs another three miles to the local gym. She then goes to the jump for push ups, pull ups, bag work, pad work and sparring. She finishes training at 9PM. Nong Pet is another young child. She lives at the gym because he family can not afford to have her. The two girls match up for a the earnings that an average thai would work for in one year - $100,000 bot - a little over $3,000 USD. The video is totally shocking, well worth the watch. I’m not saying that anyone is right or wrong, who am I to judge something I don’t understand. What do you think?

Watch it if you have the 9 minutes.  You can also read the full article at ABC’s website.
