Sorry you feel that way, David Goggins.
That dude is mentally ill.
Does not compute.
IMO dogmatically making pronouncements about what “all kids” can and can’t do is not valid. I am not the one that started calling people dumb. I just reflected back your own words and gave you evidence that kids do join marathons. Without knowing the kid, knowing the family, knowing the kids regular activity level my instinct would be to trust the family especially since the evidence suggests they were not the instigators and they made sure the boy was hydrated & moved at his own pace.
