A 10-year old girl in China swam for three hours in a tributary of the Yangtze river with her hands and feet bound.

Her father wanted to test her endurance…and get her name in the Guiness Book of World Records.

The girl swam while the parents kept an eye on her.

She covered three miles on a bowl of noodles.

The father said – "Next time, she will swim farther and I'll follow her in a boat to ensure safety."

The father works as a middle school teacher and believes the training is necessary to help her improve her skills and eventually achieve her goal of swimming the English Channel.

Do I get any support for wanting to tie the father and mother up and throw them in the river for three hours?
