A video circulating on social media shows a 10-year-old girl struggling to carry bags of beers. The girl's parents have been arrested by a child abuse investigation unit. In the video, bystanders question why the girl is carrying so much on her own. A man, reportedly the girl's stepfather, intervenes and explains that he made her carry the bags to build muscles.
The girl is seen carrying two plastic bags full of what appears to be beer cans, with additional cans stuffed in her unzipped school bag. One of the cans slips out as she struggles to carry the load.
Further details of the incident are available from the source.
