Internet viewers were taken aback by a video showing a young child handling a snake. The clip, shared on Instagram by Vivek Kumar, quickly went viral. It features a child interacting with the snake without any awareness of the potential danger. The toddler appears unfazed during the encounter, holding the snake by its head and examining it closely. At one point, the boy accidentally strikes the snake against a chair seat, seemingly unaware of the safety risks. The snake’s movement behind him, along with its tongue flicking out, eventually prompts the child to push it away from the sofa.
What truly angered online users was the fact that no adults intervened during the incident. The person recording the video continues filming as the toddler handles the snake, only stopping the footage at the very last moment. Among Vivek Kumar’s numerous viral videos, this particular clip stands out as one of his most widely circulated creations. His Instagram page features multiple videos of the toddler interacting with various snakes.
How Netizens Reacted?
Social media users expressed outrage at the adults’ reckless actions, emphasizing that the situation could have led to severe consequences.
A social media user, “Don’t do so much that the children suffer any harm, take care of the child brother something will happen to the children for a like.” Another user wrote that, “Please don’t do this, the snake will bite the child.”
