It's an outright scam. If the guy even knew anything about the Buddha, he'd have picked someone else to claim to be the reincarnation of, as the Buddha specifically stated, over and over again that he would not be reborn. Plus the kid does eat and sleep, the claim that he doesn't is simply a lie. He's coached in all this by his parents who are using the kid to make money.
Why do Buddhists shave their heads? Rather than being a sign of humility, is this not MORE image-conscious, because of the effort required?

If someone reachs Nirvana in the buddhist belief and becomes free from rebirth what happens to the energy if the person can't be reborn.

Yes it is sad but what is the money being used for exactly? They say it is to provide the "security of the people" but what kind of security really? I don't believe this for a second.
