They just want their child to be more transport friendly. If that means taking away her feminitity, then so be it. If it means that she will not grow an inch taller nor weigh more than 75lbs, then so be it. Does it matter if the child may know what's going on in their head but since they have absolutely no way of communicating, they can't tell you, "Yes, stunt me now" or "No, are you fucking psychos"? No, you know why? Because they can no transport their child easier and thats all that really matters when it comes down to it. I want to check up on these guys in a few years, i bet they'll have one of those doggie purses fit for a child... I wonder how you'd check that at the airport..
