A viral video showing a young girl riding a scooter with her father as the pillion, both without helmets, has ignited strong reactions across social media. The video, reportedly from Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar in Maharashtra, features the girl in a school uniform, and has garnered over 4.9 million views since its release.
Netizens were quick to condemn the father’s actions, stressing the importance of road safety and parental responsibility. One user questioned, “Where is the helmet, sir? Na khud pehna, na beti ko pehnaya hai (Neither did he wear one, nor did he make his daughter wear it).”
Several others echoed similar concerns. Comments such as “Arrest the father” and “That’s why so many accidents happen” reflect widespread frustration with unsafe road practices. Many called for parents to set a better example for their children. One user commented, “No hate for the kid, but parents need to be responsible.”
While some defended the father, suggesting he might have been controlling the vehicle and allowing the girl to accelerate for fun, the majority emphasized the need for strict adherence to safety measures. “She rides well, but it’s not the right age, and it’s dangerous,” wrote one concerned commenter.
The video has sparked a broader debate on road safety and responsible parenting.
