Mother Who Shared Obscene Video With Minor Son Receives Major Backlash

The Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) has issued a notice to the city police demanding a case to be registered against a mother who allegedly uploaded a video clip of 'vulgar dance' with her 10-year-old son on social media.

The mother, who has more than 1.60 lakh followers on Instagram, shared a video of her dancing to a pornographic song with her minor son. The video was deleted from the profile after it received major criticism from netizens.

"The Delhi Women’s Commission has taken suo-moto cognizance on a set of extremely obscene videos of a lady with a minor child that has gone viral on several social media platforms. In the video, a lady can be seen dancing extremely proactively with a 10-12-year-old boy whom she claims to be her own. The videos of the woman and the child are obscene. Her activities in the videos can be termed as sexual activities with a minor child. The child has been made to dance inappropriately, grabbing the woman and making sexual gestures. Such actions of the woman cannot be considered as appropriate behavior of an adult person with a minor child, that too her own child," the notice from the DCW read.

The Commission claimed the activities of the mother will not only affect the mental state of the minor boy but will also have a negative impact on other children watching the video.

"The child in question, who appears to have been sexualized at such an early stage and is being taught to objectify his own mother, shall, if not checked today, be prone to objectifying other women as well and may develop a criminal mentality," the DCW said.

In the notice, the Commission also urged the police to investigate if the boy has been subjected to any other form of sexual abuse.

"Looking at the manner in which the minor boy in the video appears to have been sexualized, an investigation needs to be launched to check if he has been subjected to other forms of sexual abuse," the DCW said.

DCW chief Swati Maliwal shared blurred images of the video on social media platforms.

"While social media acts as an amazing platform to showcase talent, people sometimes cross all limits of shamelessness in a pursuit of gaining popularity... We have also asked the police to get these posts deleted from all platforms," she said.
