‘Is He Your Stepson?': Woman's Dance Video With Son Sparks Outrage
The mother-son bond is often viewed as sacred, built on dignity, affection, and mutual respect. Traditionally, children are expected to be mindful of their words and actions in the presence of their mothers. However, in today's era of social media virality, such boundaries are frequently being challenged, sometimes in unsettling ways.
Viral videos of individuals openly speaking about marrying their students or their in-laws, while still legally married, have raised serious concerns about the erosion of traditional boundaries and social values, leaving many to wonder how far people are willing to go for online attention.
A recent viral video has sparked intense criticism and discomfort among viewers, with many questioning the dynamics of the mother-son relationship portrayed in it. Some even speculated whether the boy featured was her stepson, given the nature of the interaction.
The video, posted on Instagram by influencer Jiya Browny, features her dancing with her young son. Jiya is dressed in a pink T-shirt and light blue shorts, dancing energetically in a playful routine. Although some physical distance is maintained, the style and presentation of the video have raised concerns.
The video was captioned 'Maa-Son vibe" and has garnered widespread attention; but not all of it positive.
Public Reaction And Criticism
The post has received over 12.3 million views, 150,000+ likes, and more than 1,900 comments; many of which express outrage or disappointment.
A user commented sarcastically on the kind of values being taught to the child while another criticised Jiya's choice of clothing. One of the commenters also expressed her dismay, saying such displays diminish the sense of motherhood. A viewer questioned the intention behind wearing revealing clothes in front of her young son, while another viewer appealed for dignity in content shared publicly, especially involving children.
While some defended the video as light-hearted or playful, a large segment of viewers found it inappropriate. The backlash highlights ongoing concerns about how far is too far in the pursuit of online fame, especially when family and children are involved.
