New Delhi – October 3, 2025: A viral CCTV clip circulating on social media has stirred wide discussion, not so much for the accident it captured, but for what followed.
The footage shows a mother walking with her two children along a roadside when the younger boy suddenly slips and falls into an open drainage channel. Startled viewers watch as the mother swiftly pulls him out. But instead of consoling him, she scolds and strikes the child for his carelessness. The boy, visibly shaken, appears more affected by the reprimand than the fall itself. Girne Pe Jitna dard nahi hua, uthna uthne ke baad hua😭 pic.twitter.com/4k0ebj2aNJ
The clip carries a pointed caption: “Girne pe jitna dard nahi hua, uthne ke baad hua” — suggesting the pain came not from falling, but from what followed.
Divided Reactions to “Tough Parenting”
The video has triggered a flood of responses across platforms. Some defended the mother’s strictness as a form of tough parenting. One user remarked, “This kind of upbringing makes you strong. The kid didn’t even get time to cry about his fall before facing the reality of discipline.”
Others, however, criticised her response. “Bache ki kya galti hai? Kuch log isse maa ki mamta kahenge aur tough parenting kahenge,” one comment read, questioning whether such harshness was justified.
Some users found the moment deeply relatable. “Kahani har ghar ki,” wrote one, while another quipped, “Ghar mein haldi ka doodh bhi yahi dengi… I know this feeling,” linking the clip to their own experiences of strict discipline at home.
The incident has resonated widely, sparking conversations on parenting styles, discipline, and childhood resilience.
