Indian Parents Don’t Want To Remove Their Toddler’s Abnormal Growth Because They Think He’s A Monkey God.

I can’t. 

According to the sourcelink, a three year old little boy in India has a tail. It’s actually a growth of flesh from his tailbone which has grown longer and longer since he was born, and now, instead of cutting it off with a fairly simple surgery, his parents are accepting “worshippers” into their community who want to pray to their Hindu Monkey God son.

To their credit, the boy’s parents did consult with physicians a few months ago, who told them that the growth is not normal and should be removed. But right before he was to be operated on, the boy became ill with a fever, and the neighbors insisted that the illness was a “warning from the gods.”

And, since the parents didn’t want to face the wrath of the gods, obviously, the surgery still hasn’t happened.

Doctors tell the family that their son is suffering a hormonal imbalance, but that surgery becomes more complex the longer they wait.

But the parents have a Hindu Monkey God on their hands, and people travel miles to seek his blessing, so there you have it.

I’m sorry, but if my kid had a phallus growing from his back, I’d get that sh*t removed ASAP.

Religion can make people do weird stuff, y’all.
