This kid is drawing comparisons to Todd Marinovich and how grew up.
Is this what this kid wants? Or is this what his father wants and living through him?
You talk about child abuse, you talk about wanting kids to be kids, wheres the right-wing outrage here?
This kid is 10 years and hes being set up for failure. I wish for his success while also shaking my head at his dad being Marv Marinovich 2.0.

I think almost any mental health professional would look at this situation ...
Dad would appear to be significantly - unbalanced. And the only real question remaining here - is how much damage is being incurred by the child.
