Video: Mother ‘Forgets’ Her Baby in Park, Stranger Raises Alarm

New Delhi: A viral video circulating on social media has left the internet divided, with viewers debating whether the dramatic scene is real or just staged for attention.  

In the clip, a mother is seen walking away from a park while talking on her phone, seemingly forgetting her child behind. A man, appearing to be a concerned passerby, calls out to her, prompting her to rush back as he hands over the child. Several people in the park witness the incident, adding to the tension of the moment.  

Real or Scripted? Social Media Reacts

The video, shared by Instagram user 'fun_fustration_' and X (formerly Twitter) user '@gharkekalesh', has racked up 109K views in just a day. While some users argue that the clip is a staged attempt to go viral, others believe it sheds light on the dangers of parental distraction.  

One skeptical viewer commented, "This is scripted, probably a TV serial shoot." Another sarcastically noted, "PhoneHood has overtaken Motherhood." Others were harsher in their criticism, with one user remarking, “She might have done it on purpose but got caught and is now acting.”

Meanwhile, some viewers offered a more sympathetic perspective, with one writing, "People are so stressed these days that they are even forgetting their own children." Another suggested, “In any other country, she would have been arrested immediately.”
