Would you consider this bad parenting? I agree that letting your child experience independence is a very important thing... but at 11 months old? Is that too soon? 

An 11 month old girl was sent off on a solo parasailing ride by her parents in India. According to reports, she went as high as 40 feet. As you can see and hear in the video, the child is terrified and even crying. However, relatives say that the child went through a months training before attempting this. Maybe they should stick with potty training for now. 

The event was flagged by the police who released this statement: “We are looking into the matter and taking legal opinions on whether a case can be registered against the parents and organizers”. Even if the child went through a months training, I am not sure how much a child can learn about parasailing at 11 months old.
