Want to have some fun? How about siccing a couple of kids on each other and watching them fight? Even though dogfighting is illegal in most states, it appears doing the same with children is legal -- at least in Missouri. Lyle Fitzsimmons of The Sports Network has a "I-can't-believe-this-is-real" commentary on the practice.

But Missouri isn't alone. A San Diego news article informs us that kiddie cage fighting has reached its shores. ABC news tells us that kids as young as 6 can be seen going at it in YouTube videos. Oh, and, by the way, doctors warn us that it isn't good for kids...

Ummm... and how does this conform with the idea that we're supposed to tell our kids that violence isn't a good way to solve their conflicts?
