A 10-year-old Chinese girl went on a three-hour river swim with her limbs bound, the latest endurance feat to raise questions of child abuse.
Huang Li, from Hunan province, swam in a tributary of the Yangtze River for three kilometres, hoping to eventually fulfil her goal of making it into the Guinness Book of World Records, Xinhua news agency reported today.
"Next time, she will swim further and I'll follow her in a boat to ensure safety," the report quoted Huang's father, who called his daughter a swimming prodigy, as saying.
