Poor little guy, but he's lucky to be alive. I've read some countries use string with with glass fibers.

Sad stuff. I'd imagine he survived.
Stitch em up and give him something for pain.

Cripes! What were they flying the kite with, piano wire?!

I can't account for the veracity of the following information, but this is the description the site owner @ BG gave for this child's wounds:

Video from India shows a child with neck laceration inflicted by manja – a type of string used for kite fights. Manja is made abrasive by being coated with powdered glass. Kite fights involve rubbing one kite string against the other. Whoever cuts the opponent’s string with his own string, wins.

Manja, which is known as Chinese thread in India, has been banned in the country for years, because it’s caused too many injuries and deaths to the people and birds. It’s still illegally used during kite flying festivals, though.

Welp, not flying kites anytime soon with the kiddos.
