World's Biggest Boy | Real Stories 

18:44 she's telling him what to say followed by "Our hope is Jambik will PROVIDE a secure future for our family". There it is, the proverbial Cash Cow :(

This is sick. Hes a human being, not a circus act.

She is lying, you can see it in her eyes!!

"My child is not sick , he is unique " Congrats his grave will be "unique" too😑

I feel sorry for the doctor! He looks sad and defeated!!!!!

She is just using him for the fame

Giving a child steroids. First of all, they're risking destroying his hormonal and endocrine systems. He's seven years old, 4'3" (on the tall side for his age) and 102 kg (223 lbs). That gives him a body-mass index (BMI) of 63. Ideal for a boy his age and height is between 13.7 and 17.4, which means he should weigh between 80 and 101 pounds (36-49 kg). Assuming a halfway point, let's say 90 lbs, he's 133 lbs overweight. That means 60% of his weight is extra weight. The ideal bodyfat percentage for a child his age is 13-20% of your bodyweight. He's *at least* 60% bodyfat, is probably closer to 73-80% bodyfat, since the normal 13-20% bodyfat would be counted in his base weight (the 90 lbs he should be). But some of that extra weight might be his denser, older-bones. So, let's say he's 75% bodyfat. That's morbidly obese. Three-quarters of his body is fat. And this woman thinks it's muscle. By the way, if any of you Google this mythical Sosruko character, he's depicted in art as a traditional lean-muscular physique, with broad shoulders, developed pecs, lats, arms, and quads, and a lean midsection. Not a fatass. This woman and all the enablers around them are delusional.

The mother is a great example of rural ignorance of science and medicine.

"His mother... lives comfortably because of her son's fame... As shown on an episode of Body Shock, Campbell and other health care professionals urged Dzambik's mother to help the boy eat a better diet and lose weight to improve his health, but Nelya rejected their advice and insisted the boy was healthy and capable of becoming a sumo wrestler or other sportsman. In 2006, journalist Nick Patton Walsh wrote in The Guardian that Nelya demanded money in order for him to meet Dzambik..."

Poor Jambik passed away in 2020, at 21 years of age, from kidney disease.

What is the phone number for child protective services over there?

"Nobody knows why.." because you feed him constantly and make it seem okay by saying he's just special. Horrible mother.

she's so lying. and sadly, she's killing him over time

PS. The mother is lying. Body language. Liar. Poor Jambik.

How can a mother do that to her own child❓

R.I.P. Dzhambik 💔 He died a couple months ago at age 21. I am heartbroken!

At 18:35 when he's saying he wants to be a sumo wrestler, his mother is clearly feeding (no pun intended) him those lines. You can tell he doesn't really have any idea what he's saying.

Swimming would be my favorite if I floated and got pulled around too.

Ugh the mother makes me so angry like come on your son is at health risk and all you care about is fame 😑😑 what kind of mother are you

Isn't it's called child abuse?

For all who are interested, Dzhambulat Khatokhov (Jambik Hatohov) died on December 28, 2020. He was 21. No cause of death was given. Media reported that he died due to kidney problems. Greetings and congratulations to the mother for killing her own son.

that mother gives me some weird bad vibe...

These kinda shows always choose the weirdest background music. Is that the fucking nutcracker at 18:30?! 😂😂😂

Poor Jambik, seeing him cry is just heart breaking. He's such a sweetheart yet his mother is guiding him to terrible fates. It's been years since this documentary. Jambik is 19 and weighs 498 pounds according to Wikipedia. I hope he's ok.

It's obvious, his mother is using him for money

He's trying to say in the nicest way possible that the mother is doing this to her son. You can see it in the mother's eyes that she knows they know.

Some people should not have kids

He is 17 now and weighs 498 lbs.

He dies last year at the age of only 21😢 RIP ...is just so sad.

his career? being fed until he has a heart attack at age 11?

She's gonna see the truth when that poor child passes away. I thought this was considered child abuse.. guess not?

She could care less if the normal sized boy disappeared into thin air! As long as her and her 'meal ticket' is in the spotlight!

Apparently no one has heard anything from this kid or his family for a couple of years. He would be about 17 now. I have a feeling he didn't' have a happy ending.

Anyone here after hearing about his death.

first class child abuse right there!!

What do you mean WHY can't any doctor say he's big but healthy? Maybe that's because he's NOT healthy! He doesn't look healthy, and some of the tests that the doctors have done proved that he will suffer later in life. That mother is just thinking too much of herself.

even the doctor knows that the mum is giving him steroids!

I remember watching this when it came out, and now I'm sad to report Jambick passed away in Dec 2020 due to kidney disease en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dzhambulat_Khatokhov#Death. Unfortunately, the mother did not heed the medical experts' advice and if she was responsible she should be brought up on charges. R.I.P: Jambick Harohhov (Dzhambulat Khatokhov) - September 1999-December 2020.

If anyone comes back to this - Jambik passed away on December 30th, 2020.

If there's a 90% unemployement rate, how can people survive? How does that area function??

Sh'e giving that boy steroids. She just stopped temporarily when she knew he'd be going for medical testing.

He seems like such a nice, smart, polite little boy. Too bad mom is ruining his life for her own gain.

I hate how they act like he was a child athlete on tv, even the narrator said "he's been weight-lifting and wrestling since he was 3" .. No, he struggled to even walk on his own, he wasn't a strong warrior he was a morbidly obese child.

The mother is self seeking! You can tell as she talks about nothing except how this 7 year old will provide a better life for her! Sick

1 stone = 14 pounds

R.I.P. to this boy. He died 12/29/20 at age 21.

I wonder what Nelya is doing for money now that Jambik has died. That 'secure financial future' she hoped for may not have panned out.

So Sad that he died last year at the age of 21 😩 maybe if his family did more then he wouldn't of died so young. R.I.P jambik

According to Wikipedia he died in 2020 at the age of 21. Though no cause of death was released, reports claimed his death was due to “kidney problems”. When he was 18 he weighed 507 lb (230kg). Through the help of a trainer he was able to lose 119 lb (54kg). Sadly, this attempted change in lifestyle came too late to save his life.

I felt bad for the brother, because he seems ignored, but he will probably be the survivor in the end. Sad situation all around.

Sad news: Dzhambik Mikhailovich Hatohov died on December 29th 2020 at the age of 21, the media reported that he died due to kidney problems. Link: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dzhambulat_Khatokhov

Absolutely horrifying story. If it really is the case that Jambik's mother is trying to lift the family out of poverty by grooming Jambik for sumo wrestling, she needs to know that the way things are going with him, he could be dead before he's 20 and then where will the family be? In other words, by not getting him to lose weight and having a healthier lifestyle, she's not just endangering his life but if she's so selfishly inclined, she's also endangering the family's material prospects. If she really wants to lift the family out of poverty I have a far better and healthier suggestion. Her older son, Jambik's brother, in case anyone noticed, is exceptionally handsome--I mean strikingly so. Wouldn't it make more sense to encourage the older son to go for a career in modelling and to rather focus on Jambik's health?

His mom killed him by feeding him too much. She was warned but too obsessed with the idea of her son becoming a sumo wrestler. He died last year at 21. RIP Dzhambik

Poor kid- it' was written all over the mothers face that she was lying when she was questioned by the doctor.

Now this poor child is dead, at 21 years old. Awful.

R.I.P Jambik, you deserved better!

"well, he's a big big boy, he's the biggest boy, he's a big big boy, he's the biggest boy" The only reason I'm here for this joke only

RIP Jambrik died at age 21 in December 2020. You did get to become a Sumo Wrestler for a bit of his life.

I wonder how she would come up with a plan such as this? Who thinks to give thier 2-3 year child steroids in hopes of him becoming a sumo wrestler? Did she really have the knowledge that giving him steroids for a short period of time would result in this? Or did he show signs of becoming obesee as an infant so she decided to not only encourage it but also to give him steroids to make sure he does? She was a single mother and probably quite poor so how could she afford to buy steroids and feed his growing appetite?

Man, this documentary is old. Jambik should be around 19-20 by now.

RIP Jambik.

Child abuse, period

He passed away at 21 .

He died on december 29th 2020 at the age of 21. Kidney failure.

Rewatched this documentary upon hearing about the boy's death. What a sad news. This could have been prevented.

He’s a big big boy, the biggest boy

such a beautiful, patient caring and pleasant young boy. I hope Jambik is still alive and receiving the care that he really needs . I wish you prosperity Jambik

He isn't disabled he is just obese. Kindly be careful to your word.

that poor kid hope he's ok ;{

As I write this, Jambik died about two months ago in December of 2020 at the age of 21. Allegedly the media reported it was due to kidney problems. In a 100% unrelated note, anabolic steroids can cause major kidney dysfunction and even cause them to fail. His last (that I could find) weight was 176 kg (388 lbs) at age 18.

He's a big big boy - the biggest boy. He's a big big boy - the biggest boy. He's a big big boy - the biggest boy.

Just unique huh? Luckily I didn't say that when my daughter had a partially collapsed lung and could not breathe. Luckily I did not say that when she would wake up and her pillow would have her blood on it. She was would bleed unexpectedly. She was not sick, then but I did not know, so she was checked. Taken to the hospital each time it occurred. It was frightening.

Jambik and his brother seemed like sweet boys in this doc. Now that they're well into adulthood, I hope they see what their mom's been doing and either leave her or confront her about it.

He toddles like an old man. He's clearly unhealthy.

In case you don't know, he passed away at age 21 in December 2020.

mom says he's a typical 7 year old... exactly what i WASNT thinking. again.

The Michelin Man just called. He wants his son back.

Died 29th December 2020 aged 21 years

If that was my kid & he had no health issue's that caused the weight gain I would have him on a strick diet & out running at 5.00 am.7 years old 224 pound is a serious problem.

🎶well he is the big big boi🎵the biggest boi the big big boi 🎵the biggest boi big big boi the biggest boi🎶

Is it me or Russia in general looks depressing? Ik its beautiful and has a lot of culture but here looks quite depressing.

"He's a warrior." He doesn't even have full range of motion! So infuriating and sad.

This child has been failed by his family (including, of course, the father who ran away without even meeting him), by some of the doctors and by the community. It's really sad...

Update: he died in December 2020 at the age of 21 from ‘acute kidney problems’ :(

they should change the title from "World's biggest boy" to "World's most exploitive mother" He's dead now and his mother lost her cash source. Update: He died 29 December 2020, cause of death was not published, but one can only guess that it may have had something to do with his diet and lifestyle. All she ever cared about was the money her son could get her, how she ignored all the medical advice to save his life in exchange due quick cash.

Dude the mom disgusts me she is doing that to him on purpose to gain fame that's obvious. Wtf is wrong with that woman? You're suppose to love care for and protect your precious little babies not deliberately over feed them and give them drugs to gain fame. I feel sorry for that poor sweet little boy.

Mother refused to listen,, now her son is dead at 21 yrs old.... so sad.

His mother has turned him into a sort of freak show. I feel for that poor boy.

I'm just shocked by this I'm an adult and I weigh about 190 if I'm right 16 Stone it's about 220 lb somewhere around that area and to be just 7 years old I'm sitting here saying to myself this can't be real Wow❕

Who else is here just for the russian music, I have been enchanted.....

Jambik died 4 days after Christmas 2020 aged 21, his cause of death was said to be attributed to kidney problems.

i just read he died at the age of 21 last year! poor kid.

Sad he died at age 21

I don't think it's a coincidence that they're running food ads on this video...

This kid (Dzhambulat Khatokhov) has sadly died as of December 2020.

He died six months ago at the age of 21. To be honest... I'm not even surprised😒

Сегодня не стало Джамбика... RIP...

This is the biggest boy *Did you mean Eric Cartman?

They way she smiles,is sneaky

His mother doesn't give a damn about her son's health, all she cares about is the money he's bringing in for her. That is so sad bc in the end he is the one who will pay the ultimate price, with his life!! I know this woman is not dumb, she acts like it but she's not, she's slick and greedy, as long as he brings in the money then to her everything with him is fine. Eventually it will catch up to her when he gets a heart attack or worst dies. I don't get how those doctors don't call social services on her, that's their duty and if they don't then I say they are just as guilty as his mom is!!
