Delhi Mother Under Fire for Risky Video of Toddler on Roof Edge, Slams Online Criticism

New Delhi, February 11, 2025: A video of a Delhi mother making her toddler sit on the edge of a roof while recording a video has sparked outrage on social media, dividing viewers between concern and defense. The video, posted by content creator Varsha Yadvanshi, shows the toddler perched on the ledge with the mother holding him with one hand. The caption accompanying the video reads, "Good morning everyone. I am a brave boy exploring the world and taking vitamin D with my beloved mom."

The footage has triggered a wave of reactions, with many condemning the act as reckless and dangerous. Some social media users called it “the height of stupidity” and urged authorities to intervene, while others defended the mother, suggesting that she knew what she was doing and that there was no need for people to overreact. "She knows what she is doing," commented one user, while another wrote, "Some people should never be parents."

In response to the backlash, Yadvanshi posted a follow-up video, claiming that she was holding her child with both hands during the recording, and that the one-hand hold seen in the video occurred after the recording stopped. "If you are not ready to understand, I don’t care," she said in the video, further fueling the controversy.

The video has raised concerns about child safety and responsible parenting, with many questioning the risks associated with recording such videos for social media. Authorities have yet to comment on the matter, but the incident highlights the ongoing debate around online content creation and its potential impact on children's well-being.
