The chairman of the Advisory Committee on Mental Health Lam Ching-choi called on parents to encourage children to work out in a safe and loving manner.
His call on Saturday came after an online video showed a girl carrying packs of beers at Fu Tai Estate in Tuen Mun as her father stood beside her went viral.
Her parents – who were arrested on Wednesday for alleged "ill-treatment or neglect by those in charge of child or young person" – claimed later in an interview with local media that they had been training the girl, who is 10 years old.
Lam said the environment also matters for exercising.
