A video of a little girl riding a scooter has sparked outrage. The footage was reportedly shot in Maharashtra.

Driving requires a certain level of maturity, judgment and responsibility. For this reason, every country has a minimum age that helps ensure that drivers have reached a level where they can safely operate a vehicle. However, unfortunately, there are times when children are seen riding bikes or cars and such an incident sparked outrage among people. It shows a little girl proudly riding a scooter with her father riding pillion.

Social media condemns parents:

People were unhappy when they saw the video and many accused the father of negligence. “No hatred of children, please. Parents need to take responsibility,” one person wrote. Another added: “This is why so many accidents happen. I don't know what kind of education this is?” A third posted: “Where is the helmet sir?” Na khud pehna na beti ko pehnaya hai.”

However, some said that the father did nothing wrong and even found the scene “cute.”

Children go for joyrides in the car:

There have been cases all over the world where children have been caught joyriding in their parents' or guardians' cars. In some cases, the consequences proved harrowing, with the children crashing the cars and killing others. Just like this incident in Delhi where a teenager rammed his uncle's Maruti Ciaz into an autorickshaw at high speed, killing the driver.

In a recent incident, a 17-year-old allegedly rammed a motorcycle with his speeding Porsche, killing two software engineers.
