And the first story scared the shit outta me.
Apparently a mom wanted her daughter to be a perfect dancer. However, her daughter's feet were too large (even though they looked like normal sized feet for a 15 year old girl to me). So, the mom said that the girl should either go to the doctor and get surgery to make her feet smaller, or have the doctor cut them off. Not many options, eh?
Seriously, what the hell? What's wrong with parents these days? Get smaller feet or have them cut off? I want to slap that bitch so hard her eyes fall out.
At least the woman was put into the psych ward for a week. |

...Are we sure she meant that seriously? Well, I guess the law thought so...
If that had happened to me I would have thought it was a joke. |

The mom was serious, because she actually went to the doctor and said to make her daugher's feet smaller, and if they couldn't do it, to cut them both off. The doctor refused because there was nothing wrong with the size of her daughter's feet, but the mom wouldn't leave until it was done. |

She probably don't want her to stumble with those ridiculous clown shoes for feet, like Sideshow Bob's feet. Or maybe she thinks that smaller feet mean better dancing skills! Way to attempt to crush a young girl's dreams! |

But...
Wouldn't really small feet make it harder to dance? |

This really doesn't seem too far away from Chinese foot-binding.
Another sad truth of humanity. |

Yeah, I heard about that before. The mom wasn't even Chinese though. D:
And I think cutting off someone's feet is worse than foot-binding to a degree... Because an the latter, at least you HAVE feet. |

It would hurt dancing on stubs, anyway... |

That too, that too. Apparently, from what I see, either the girl dances or she never walks again due to her nubs. |
