Video goes viral: A man who was caught driving with a toddler in his lap has angered people online. Parents need to be reminded of reality.

On social media, a dad is seen driving while holding his young daughter in his lap. No, it’s not only because it’s adorable! The 30-second viral video was uploaded on social media by Ashwin Rajenesh MD, a specialist in emergency medicine, to draw attention to the man’s “poor judgement”. The “irresponsible” act also infuriated the internet.

The father is also seen stroking and conversing with the toddler in the widely shared video.

According to Ashwin, who emphasized the risks associated with the “cute”-looking film, “the infant’s skull would be accelerated at 320km/hr 6-8 inches into the man’s thoracic cage, killing both instantly” in the event of a collision.

His post on X (formerly Twitter) included the caption, “Indian parents need a harsh reality check.”
