Parents force their child to run almost naked in the snow. - Source: YouTube
A home-filmed video showing a four-year-old Chinese boy being forced by his parents to run almost naked through the snow in bitterly cold New York has gone viral and sparked an online uproar.
The father was trying to train his son to be strong.
But the footage has sparked debate about "Chinese" tough parenting - as famously illustrated by Chinese American Tiger Mother author Amy Chua.
In the video, the little boy runs towards his father in thick snow with only his shoes and underpants on, at times crying bitterly and pleading with his dad to take him in his arms.
On several occasions, both parents tell their son to lie down in
the snow.
