10 Kids You Wont Believe Actually Exist

  • 0:04 - 0:07
    Hey guys, Charlie from Top 10s here, and
  • 0:07 - 0:09
    today, we're looking at ten kids you won't
  • 0:09 - 0:11
    believe actually exist.
  • 0:13 - 0:17
    In April of 2004, this baby was born in
  • 0:17 - 0:19
    Peru, and caused a shock to her parents
  • 0:19 - 0:21
    and hospital staff. She was born with an
  • 0:21 - 0:24
    incredibly rare condition called sirenomelia.
  • 0:24 - 0:26
    The condition causes the baby not to have
  • 0:26 - 0:28
    any genitalia, meaning her gender wasn't
  • 0:28 - 0:31
    verified for weeks. The disease also turns
  • 0:31 - 0:34
    its victims into real-life mermaids. This
  • 0:34 - 0:36
    is because the legs fuse together in the
  • 0:36 - 0:39
    womb. Those with the condition have also
  • 0:39 - 0:41
    been compared to snakes. The condition
  • 0:41 - 0:44
    affects 1 in every 100 thousand babies born.
  • 0:48 - 0:50
    Despite this not being funny whatsoever,
  • 0:50 - 0:53
    7-year-old Connie Lloyd was born with a
  • 0:53 - 0:55
    clown nose-shaped birthmark. A big red
  • 0:55 - 0:57
    circular birthmark had been on her nose
  • 0:57 - 1:00
    since she was born. Doctors said the rare
  • 1:00 - 1:02
    condition could not be cured. However,
  • 1:02 - 1:04
    after years of searching, the parents
  • 1:04 - 1:06
    finally found a doctor able and willing to
  • 1:06 - 1:08
    cure Connie. She was diagnosed with a
  • 1:08 - 1:11
    (?) tumor and it was swiftly removed.
  • 1:11 - 1:13
    Connie can now live a normal life without
  • 1:13 - 1:15
    the encroaching birthmark.
  • 1:19 - 1:21
    While Connie Lloyd had a nose that was too
  • 1:21 - 1:23
    big, Tessa Evans was born with no nose at
  • 1:23 - 1:26
    all. The now 2-year-old girl from Ireland
  • 1:26 - 1:28
    has a smooth area where her nose should
  • 1:28 - 1:30
    be. She has no sense of smell or sinuses.
  • 1:30 - 1:33
    Despite having no nose, she can still
  • 1:33 - 1:36
    cough, sneeze, and catch a cold. Tessa was
  • 1:36 - 1:38
    lead to the first person to have cosmetic
  • 1:38 - 1:41
    nasal surgery where a nose implant was
  • 1:41 - 1:43
    fitted. Over years, the implant will
  • 1:43 - 1:46
    encourage skin to grow over it, forming
  • 1:46 - 1:48
    a real nose. The process will be done by
  • 1:48 - 1:50
    the time she's a teenager.
  • 1:53 - 1:55
    This 8-year-old boy was born with a large
  • 1:55 - 1:57
    birthmark that covers half of his face.
  • 1:57 - 2:00
    Since he has aged, the birthmark has grown
  • 2:00 - 2:02
    further around his face, and grown thick
  • 2:02 - 2:04
    black hair. A top Chinese plastic surgeon
  • 2:04 - 2:06
    has agreed to treat him for free, due to
  • 2:06 - 2:09
    the severity of his condition. The treatment
  • 2:09 - 2:11
    will be in many stages, and will take up
  • 2:11 - 2:13
    to 4 years. Despite this, I think it's
  • 2:13 - 2:15
    worth it to remove the abnormally large
  • 2:15 - 2:17
    hairy birthmark.
  • 2:20 - 2:22
    This 4-year-old was born with a right
  • 2:22 - 2:25
    foot that weighs nearly 1 stone. Verdeant
  • 2:25 - 2:27
    is from India, and is still able to walk
  • 2:27 - 2:29
    and run normally, despite his massive
  • 2:29 - 2:31
    right foot. He's been bullied all his life
  • 2:31 - 2:34
    and unable to attend school. Hundreds of
  • 2:34 - 2:36
    doctors from India and other countries
  • 2:36 - 2:38
    have examined his foot, but he is yet to
  • 2:38 - 2:40
    be diagnosed. The only option doctors have
  • 2:40 - 2:43
    suggested is to amputate the leg, however
  • 2:43 - 2:45
    Verdeant's father is against this.
  • 2:49 - 2:51
    This 8-year-old boy from Colombia was born
  • 2:51 - 2:53
    with a turtle shell-like growth on his
  • 2:53 - 2:55
    back. His village bullies him and they
  • 2:55 - 2:58
    believe the dark forces caused the growth.
  • 2:58 - 3:00
    He was also nicknamed "Turtle Boy" by the
  • 3:00 - 3:02
    media, causing him to become incredibly
  • 3:02 - 3:05
    depressed. A British doctor diagnosed
  • 3:05 - 3:07
    Didier with an incredibly rare disease,
  • 3:07 - 3:09
    saying it's the most extreme case he has
  • 3:09 - 3:11
    ever seen. He's now in the UK getting free
  • 3:11 - 3:14
    treatment for his life-altering condition.
  • 3:18 - 3:20
    This 8-year-old Chinese boy was born with
  • 3:20 - 3:22
    a fish scale-like skin disease. The
  • 3:22 - 3:24
    disease is called (?) and he inherited it
  • 3:24 - 3:26
    from his father. The disease is unfortunately
  • 3:26 - 3:29
    incurable. The disease makes pants seem
  • 3:29 - 3:32
    very thick, dry, itchy, and scaly. 1 in
  • 3:32 - 3:35
    16 thousand babies are born with the disease per year.
  • 3:35 - 3:38
    However, Pan has one of the most severe
  • 3:38 - 3:39
    cases ever recorded.
  • 3:44 - 3:46
    This 8-year-old Indian boy's giant
  • 3:46 - 3:48
    deformed hands make his life a daily
  • 3:48 - 3:50
    struggle. He doesn't attend school in case
  • 3:50 - 3:52
    he scares the children or is bullied by
  • 3:52 - 3:55
    them. He even struggles to eat because of
  • 3:55 - 3:57
    his rare condition. His hand weighs about
  • 3:57 - 3:59
    4 pounds, causing him to have a strong
  • 3:59 - 4:02
    upper body. He'll be taken to a doctor in
  • 4:02 - 4:04
    Delhi to have life-changing surgery on
  • 4:04 - 4:05
    his hands soon.
  • 4:08 - 4:11
    This 11-year-old Romanian gymnast is a
  • 4:11 - 4:13
    child bodybuilder, and may be the world's
  • 4:13 - 4:15
    strongest kid. He has worked out for 2
  • 4:15 - 4:17
    hours a day since the age of 2. He rose
  • 4:17 - 4:20
    to fame after his father posted a video of
  • 4:20 - 4:22
    him performing a gymnastic stunt on
  • 4:22 - 4:24
    YouTube. However, the father doesn't
  • 4:24 - 4:26
    appreciate all of the attention, as child
  • 4:26 - 4:29
    services are now looking into whether it's
  • 4:29 - 4:31
    ethical to promote bodybuilding among
  • 4:31 - 4:32
    children.
  • 4:35 - 4:37
    This Chinese toddler was born with a dead
  • 4:37 - 4:40
    unborn fetus of her twin inside her. Kang
  • 4:40 - 4:42
    had already had a difficult start to life,
  • 4:42 - 4:44
    as her parents abandoned her in a field,
  • 4:44 - 4:46
    and she was forced to go into foster care.
  • 4:46 - 4:49
    For some time, the toddler was practically
  • 4:49 - 4:51
    pregnant with her dead twin sister. A year
  • 4:51 - 4:54
    later, her carers had the fetus removed, as
  • 4:54 - 4:56
    it was growing too big, and her neighbors
  • 4:56 - 4:58
    had begun to call her a monster. Kang's
  • 4:58 - 5:00
    incredibly rare condition only affects
  • 5:00 - 5:03
    around 1 in 1.5 million births.
