Parents Bury Their Child's Legs In The Ground In Benue State. See Why. Photos by ChangeIsCostant: 10:12am On Dec 10, 2016 |
A child's legs were buried in the ground in Markudi, Benue state -over his inability to walk as at when due. While the witness who shared these photos and some online users are perplexed over what they call "barbaric and brutal", others have argued that this is an effective method to make the children take the first step..

It is neither barbaric nor brutal, it is just an ancient method of physiotherapy 7 Likes |

If the idea will make the child walk,i dont see any problem with it. But after the whole exercise the child still does not walk, then there is a problem with that tradition. |

This works very well.when I was a child,my mum told me I refused to stand nor walk,eventhough i was medically sound.they discovered i was scared of walking.so a lady came,dug the ground and put my foot in it.gradually I began my journey to the realm of walking. |

Like someone said above, this is an ancient method of physiotherapy. There's nothing barbaric about it, I speak from experience. Also, it gives some psychological push to the said child to walk. Normally, this is done in a playground of some sort with children playing to make the said child see what he/she is missing out on. When next they remember they can be carried around at play time, or even crawl, they'll be motivated to walk. My house help did this to me when I was little. My parents didn't complain when they came back though because I started walking same day or next. |
