Many in the comments were quick to express their outrage at the incident and the apparent lack of a child seat in the car.
One TikTok user named Raul wrote: “No car seat. No seat belts, a whole adult in the back seat who can’t react to… mmm, these are the people who don’t deserve to have kids.”
Another TikTok user, Daisy Mata, echoed the concerns, writing, “Where’s the car seat?? Safety belt? Child lock?’

Hilda Alba, another TikTok user, was among many who also criticized the man in the passenger seat, who was widely believed to be the boy’s father.
“How daddy didn’t even react,” Alba wrote about the man’s belated reaction.
TikTok user Are Muniz also took issue with the man’s offhand reaction, writing, “And they’re just smiling as usual.”
