Bull-runner can't visit 10-year-old son

MADRID, Spain (AP) -- A Spanish judge has revoked the parental visitation rights of a man who took his 10-year-old son running with the bulls in Pamplona.

Spanish television last week captured images of the boy smiling as he ran ahead of a pack of charging bulls with his father, Luis Miguel Gomez.

The images angered Pamplona city officials - and the man's ex-wife. They were from the same running in which Lawrence and Michael Lenahan, brothers from Westlake, Ohio, were gored simultaneously in an accident-filled event that also injured 11 others. Since records began in 1924, 13 people have been killed in the runs. The last fatality, a 22-year-old American, was gored to death in 1995.

According to Pamplona regulations, runners in the San Fermin festival must be 18 years old.
