Just because there is worse stuff out there, doesn’t make it right or acceptable. Exploitation is exploitation.

@IIIIIII Your right that this should be considered abuse. But your wrong that this documentary shouldn’t be distributed, because what a documentary like this does is bring things like this to the attention of the mainstream and show people the reality of life for impoverished kids in Thailand which can only be a good thing.

i can see training at a young age if they are interested but this is not a good thing.to force a kid to get busted up and have so many worries at a young age sucks,kids should be able to enjoy life before it gets hard.the crappy parents should try harder to make money and the government should crack down on this bs.i think what it builds in toughness does not outweigh what these kids have to go through mentally for the rest of their lives.

Lots of emotionally charged comments here, and thats to be expected I suppose. But the reality is, with 30,000 child fighters in Thailand, I think we should expect some very interesting prospects coming up over the next several years, especially with the increased popularity of combat sports. Sure, many of these children will die just as poor and destitute as they were born, but I am certain that there will be more than a few that will ultimately escape and be able to inspire millions with their story and talent.
