Stupid Couple Make Baby Dance On Moving Scooter: Internet Furious [Video]

A recent viral video showing a baby dancing on a moving scooter has sparked outrage and concern among netizens. The incident is reportedly from somewhere in Kerala, and the video was captured by someone in a bus that was following the family’s scooter. I looks like an electric scooter that doesn’t need registration or a valid driving license to ride. A couple is seen riding it with the lady pillion carrying the baby in her arms.

In the video, the baby is seen joyous, jumping and dancing in her mother’s arms. The mother makes no effort to stop her from doing so. It is clear from the video that the kid’s action is affecting the vehicle’s balance and that the rider is struggling to avoid a fall.

Even more alarming is the fact that the bus driver (and possibly its occupants) remains unconcerned about the possible danger and seems to enjoy the baby’s joy and dance. The driver makes no effort to warn the scooterists about the danger involved or to ask them to hold the kid properly.

The bus seems to be one used for conducting package tours, outings and picnics. Such carriages usually have loud music playing inside, that would attract the attention of those around. Maybe the child could have been dancing to some track that was being played inside the bus. The fact that she was looking at it every now and then further underlines this possibility.

The video has been doing rounds on the internet and netizens are criticizing the parents for their lack of responsibility, highlighting the potential dangers to the child. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of following safety protocols when riding two-wheelers, especially when children are involved.

Many expressed disbelief over their apparent negligence, pointing out that such behaviour could easily lead to serious injuries or even fatalities. Some even have called for legal action against the parents, arguing that such recklessness cannot be ignored. Others believe that parental counselling is necessary to prevent similar incidents in the future.

Holding the child loosely on a moving vehicle itself is dangerous. Letting her bounce and dance is risky beyond question. Such carelessness can result in tragic accidents. The public’s strong reactions to this video highlight the collective concern for ensuring road safety in India.

Another alarming fact is that none of the three, including the child, were wearing helmets. Slow-speed EVs such as these do not mandate the riders to wear helmets. However, when there is a child involved, it is highly recommended that you get the kid a child helmet. They come cheap these days. You can get a decent unit for around Rs 700. Young passengers should never be ignored as they are the most vulnerable on two wheeler journeys.

How To Ride Safe With Your Child? More Tips

• Choosing the right two-wheeler is critical in ensuring child safety. Models with wider seats and sturdy grab rails provide added safety and comfort for children. High-capacity motorcycles with strong braking forces should be avoided, as should vehicles without proper grab rails.
• Ensuring that the young ones sit behind the rider and hold onto a backrest or grab rail can further reduce risks. It’s best to avoid placing children in front of the rider, as they are more vulnerable then.
• Parents should adapt their riding style when traveling with children. Sudden braking or acceleration should be avoided, and extra care should be taken on curves or uneven patches.
• Carrying a first-aid kit and ensuring that phones are charged can prepare families for emergencies. Teaching children basic safety measures, such as how to call for help, is also a valuable precaution.
• For families new to riding with children, short rides could be a good starting point.
• Frequent breaks during long trips help avoid fatigue and allow children to rest and stretch.
