The Boy Who Cried Blood

Posted in on December 14, 2010

We've all heard of the boy who cried wolf, but have you heard of the boy who cried blood?

Unlike the wolf-boy story, this is no object lesson in morality. 17 year old Calvino Inman suffers from a rare condition that causes him to weep blood from his eyes at various times during the day.

Calvino is the subject of a new documentary called "The Boy With Bloody Tears" which will air on TLC in December. The documentary will explore the extremely rare condition and the search for its cause.
