This kid is drawing comparisons to Todd Marinovich and how grew up.

Is this what this kid wants? Or is this what his father wants and living through him?

You talk about child abuse, you talk about wanting kids to be kids, where’s the right-wing outrage here?

This kid is 10 years and he’s being set up for failure. I wish for his success while also shaking my head at his dad being Marv Marinovich 2.0.

1. Where do you get...

Tattoos approved for 10 year olds?

5. I'd hope they were temporary tatts

But who knows what these stage parents would do...

2. Sad for him- At first I saw a pacifier.....

But, I guess that’s a mouth guard.

And, look at those tats!! Geez!

4. Not to mention

The kids name is Madden and the father is marketing him on social media.

6. this is indeed incredibly sad

I think almost any mental health professional would look at this situation ...

Dad would appear to be significantly - unbalanced. And the only real question remaining here - is how much damage is being incurred by the child.

7. Parents do this all the time. Tiger woods and the Williams sisters had no life.

It been going on since the beginning of time in every profession as well.

9. Yep and loads of others. Some end up ok with it. Some become disgruntled.

10. Memory fails but a few years ago

there was a kid raised to be an NFL QB was good in college but bust at NFL level. Believe he had drug and behavior issues later on.
