May as well be considered murder.
Forcing a child to run like that without even a water bottle, for three hours straight in a hot place like Alabama? What the hell? Back when I was a kid, I'd get spanked and grounded for this, and it would be a fitting punishment.
This wasn't a punishment, this was torture. This is like making a child smoke a box of cigarettes for catching them smoking a single one. The simple fact is that certain parents can essentially command their child to die, and that's exactly what happened here.
I know we don't know all the details but, damn there just isn't any way for this to not look abominable.
