Rhode Parents Charged After Viral Video Shows Kids Livestreaming Dangerous Stunt From Backseat
In a case that critics are calling the ultimate symbol of societal decay, a Rhode Island couple has been arrested after their two young children live-streamed a dangerous stunt from the backseat of a speeding car—while the parents filmed themselves ignoring the road. As the video went viral, the children can be heard chanting for likes and follows while unbuckled and leaning out the window. Moral critics argue this is yet another horrific milestone in the collapse of parental responsibility, where digital clout has replaced basic safety and family values. “We are raising children to be performance artists for the internet, not human beings,” one family advocate seethed, as the hashtag #RhodeReckoning trends for all the wrong reasons.
