Cambodian father learns kids don't inflate well

Phnom Penh - A Cambodian father and mechanic learned the hard way not to inflate children when he inserted an air hose designed to fill car tires into his 5-year-old son's anus and blew him up, local media reported Thursday. The Khmer-language Rasmei Kampuchea daily reported Try Sienghym was 'playing' with his son Sok Sambo when the incident took place. The paper said the child's stomach became distended and his concerned mother rushed him to hospital, where he remains in a stable condition and is expected to make a full recovery. 'The father very much regrets playing like this now,' the paper quoted a family member as saying. Police were not expected to take action against the father, blaming the incident on pure stupidity, against which there is currently no law.
