MEET THE 8 YEAR-OLD BOY WHO IS TURNING INTO STONE BECAUSE OF THIS RARE CONDITION.

An eight-year-old has been forced to stay indoors all his life because he terrifies other children and suffers from horrific pain if he touches anything due to a rare condition..






Mehendi Hassan, a Bangladeshi boy, has been shunned by the society because of the acute skin disease that is effectively turning him to stone.

While his face looks normal, the rest of his body is covered in thick, scaly skin making it difficult to walk or touch anything.

His community, and even his grandmother, detest him according to Mehendi’s mother, who is calling on the government to diagnose and cure the condition that has robbed her son of his childhood.
