A video posted on social media has started a big conversation after a man called out a school-going kid for making disrespectful comments about his disability.

The man, who describes himself as a para-athlete in his Instagram bio, is seen confronting the boy in the video, and he blames the child’s parents for his behaviour.

The Man’s Message

Manoj Kumar, the man in the video, shared his thoughts on Instagram after the incident.

He said, "Schools can teach you how to excel in exams or be better than others, but becoming a good human being is shaped by your upbringing. It starts at home with your family. My intention is not to put the child down but to show that just going to an expensive school doesn’t make you a good person."

In the video, Manoj talks to the boy, asking him questions before sharing his message. In the background, you can hear some students laughing at the situation.

Here’s a look at the viral video:

As seen in the video, the child is wearing the school uniform of Banyan Tree School in Pursuits of Excellence.

Social media users have had a lot to say about the video

Some praised Manoj’s actions, saying, "True, these kids need to be taught a good lesson. Isliye strict parenting bahut jaruri hai (that’s why strict parenting is so important).”

While another user agreed, saying, "This is not just bad parenting, it’s the influence of social trends."

A third person commented, "Everything starts with ethics and who you hang out with. His friends were laughing too." While others supported Manoj, one user said, "You did the right thing."

Criticism for Posting the Video

However, not everyone agreed with Manoj’s decision to post the video online.

One person commented, “As an adult, you should show some compassion towards kids. You said you didn’t want to humiliate him, but that’s exactly what you did. This child will now look down on disabled people with even more hatred because of the humiliation he felt being filmed. You should take down the video.”

Manoj Responds to the Criticism

After receiving negative comments, Manoj responded. Some questioned his own disability, and others criticised him for posting the video. Manoj replied to the negative feedback by asking people to stop focusing on him and explained that he shared the video to send a message about the boy’s behaviour.

This debate shows how people feel strongly about how kids should be raised and treated, especially when it comes to showing respect and kindness to others.
