 HEART BREAKING: A Cambodian Boy living by suckling a Neighbor's Cow after Parents Passed Away Um Oeung said Friday the cow doesn't mind the boy suckling but he is worried about his grandson's health if he continues.However the man's neighbours are not happy about the boy suckling from the cow, and that they say the child will be "ashamed when he grows up.

A CAMBODIAN MAN has revealed that his young grandson has lived partly on milk he suckles directly from a cow since the boy's parents died from sickness....

Um Oeung told The Associated Press he pulled the boy away at first but the cow grew wild with him. He relented after his grandson protested loudly too and the boy has suckled the cow's milk once or twice a day since then.Tha Sophat has lived with his grandparents in Siem Reap province in northwest Cambodia since his parents passed away.
