I saw a report on either 20/20 about this kid. His father only fed him 3 protein shakes a day with various "vitamins" in them. There was speculation the "vitamins" were steroids. He wasn't allowed to have any friends.....he didn't go to school, and couldn't do interviews without his father present. They also said the father would beat him and his mom all the time, and would not allow the boy to eat anything but those shakes. They were in NY doing a show, and they decided to get some pizza. The father made him eat raw lettuce while the rest of them enjoyed the pizza. Needless to say the father is now in prison for beating his mom into the hospital, but will be released this summer. The boy no longer looks like that, goes to school, and is trying to market his own workout videos for children. -

He is considered one of the strongest humans because he can bench three times his body weight. Unfortunately, social services won't let him lift anymore.Originally posted by lxorl

ok... well he cant wigh more than 70lb... so i guess if he can lift 3 timse he is close to 250... but i still find it hard to believe.
and how can social services prevent someone from lifting . its his perogative.

I'm just going off of what I heard on the show. He's like 80lbs. I believe they felt it was hazardous to his health so they may be putting the stipulations on his mother. So if he doesn't want his mother to get in trouble, then I guess he shouldn't lift.Originally posted by lxorl

Yeah, I've been seeing the advertisements for the show for like 2 weeks now. I did a little reading on the net about him and am really looking forward to seeing what this show has to say. I think we all know what the father was putting in the poor kids shakes. :(Comment

that kid looking that way isn't healthy. Not at his age. He was probably working out the way we work out, hard and heavy. When your that young you dont need to be lifting like that and you certainly dont need to be dieting like that either. He's just a kid.Comment

It's possible, but he always came out clean when they tested him. I'm not too up to date on undetectable substances though. Bet he doesn't get picked on at school.Originally posted by Puddles

Yup, now that his father is in prison and not running his life, his mom got him back to being a normal kid.Originally posted by Puddles
