A disturbing story has gone viral after it was revealed that a mother forced her 7-year-old child to walk 8 miles to school completely alone — in the dark, on foot, and without supervision.
The incident, caught on camera and shared in a now-viral video (Part 5), has sparked outrage online, with thousands calling the act cruel and dangerous.
Viewers were shocked by the footage, showing the child waking up in a dark room while the mother reportedly stayed in bed. Many are questioning how any parent could let a child make such a long and risky journey alone — especially at such a young age.
“She didn’t just fail as a parent,” one commenter wrote. “She endangered her own child’s life.”
While some claim this was a form of “tough love,” most are demanding accountability — and some are even calling for child protective services to investigate.
As the story continues to spread, the world is left asking: How far is too far when it comes to discipline?
