A six-year-old whose legs were so bent her parents had to CARRY her to school can walk for the first time in years - thanks to life-changing surgery. Schoolgirl Satou started to suffer from 'windswept legs' when she was just three-years-old - causing her legs to bend dramatically to one side. The condition - which can be caused by malnutrition - eventually left her unable to walk, and her family said she was rejected or bullied by peers and locals. Just as the family began to lose hope, a charity hospital vessel - Mercy Ships - docked near their home in Senegal, west Africa.
