A heart-wrenching video making the rounds on X (formerly Twitter) has left many in shock and sorrow as it captures a devastated woman crying uncontrollably while recounting a tragic accident that resulted in a baby losing both legs.
The viral clip has stirred an emotional reaction online, as the woman detailed the horrifying moment when the child’s mother, instead of securing the baby on her back, placed him on a motorcycle—leading to a fatal incident.
According to the woman’s account, the heartbreaking accident unfolded due to the mother’s decision, which resulted in the child’s legs being completely severed. Overcome with grief, she tearfully lamented the tragedy and called for mothers to return to the traditional practice of carrying their babies securely on their backs.
Through her sobs, she cried out:
“When they tell you to carry your baby on your back, you don’t listen. Women no longer back their babies; they just hold them in their hands. Why is it like this?”
“What my eyes saw, my mouth cannot say. The woman placed her baby on a bike, and something cut off the baby’s legs—both above the knees.”
The deeply distressing story has since gone viral, drawing reactions from thousands of social media users who expressed their grief, frustration, and prayers for the affected child.
See how people reacted to the tragic incident:
@sulucious: “May the good lord help us in this country.”
@toxicmuthafucka: “This is way beyond sad, that baby won’t ever get to experience the joy of learning to walk or walking around like other kids.”
@Drealkasanova: “God does not give babies; babies are the product of fertilization. If God gives babies, there will be no need for fertilization.”
@Bookunming: “Gen Z mothers are rogues.”
@scientistelochi: “It’s really unfortunate.”
