A distressing video that recently went viral on social media has highlighted a serious concern for children's safety on the roads in Surat. The footage showcases three minors riding a motorcycle, with the eldest one, believed to be around 10-12 years old, at the helm. The situation is further exacerbated as the road in question is the busy stretch from Kamrej to Sarthana.
The video, which has elicited shock and disbelief, underscores the driver's flagrant disregard for road safety norms, especially when it comes to the mandatory requirements of possessing a valid driving license and wearing a helmet. What is even more worrisome is the apparent fearlessness of the children and their obliviousness to the potential dangers of their actions.
Alarmingly, it is not just one, but three children seen aboard the motorcycle. A child assumed to be approximately three years old sits sandwiched in the middle, while another, possibly around five years old, occupies the rear of the bike. These children seem to ride without any fear, a sight that poses grave questions about parental oversight and the children's awareness of road safety.
These brazen actions not only place the children at risk but also endanger the lives of other road users. The viral video has inevitably sparked a debate about responsibility and accountability in such situations. The pressing question remains: Are the parents completely unaware of their children's reckless behavior? This incident serves as a chilling reminder of the potential road tragedies that can result from parental neglect or lack of supervision.
