A little girl of four years old, who is seen crying in a video after being half buried in a pile of sand has caused massive stir on the internet.
From the caption on the video, it seems that the girl has been unable to walk and the family had to take severe measures to make her mobile.
However, these has caused mixed reactions from the public as many believe that this is a traditional way to make the little girl walk while others insist it is a form of abuse.
