If that video of villagers dropping their babies from the roof of a temple in India disturbed you, you'll want to pass on this one. Parents at a mountain spring in Bulgaria force their kids underwater, you know, for their own good.
Wha ...?? The country's Alevi Muslims celebrate the coming of spring during "Hadrelez" by bathing in holy water. According to Reuters,
they believe that the spring heals mute or stuttering children,
but only for five minutes after midnight on the morning of 'Hadrelez'.Huh. They're screaming, so I guess it works!
