But this incident also sends out a strong warning to parents—luck does not protect children, awareness does.
What Happened in the Viral Video
In the video, it can be clearly seen that:
- The mother is standing on the other side of the road
- The small girl is left alone on one side, unattended
- A bus suddenly approaches
- The driver turns the bus to the right and applies brakes in time
If the bus had continued straight, or if the child had moved even a little forward, brakes alone would not have helped. The child survived purely because of the driver’s timely decision.
A Narrow Escape, Not a Guarantee
This child was fortunate—but not every child is that lucky.
Such moments remind us that accidents do not give second chances.
Key Lessons from This Incident
- Never leave children alone near roads
- Always hold your child’s hand while crossing or walking on roads
- Avoid being distracted by:
- Mobile phones
- Shopping
- Conversations
- Any other activity that shifts attention away from children
Parents Must Take Full Responsibility
When parents take small, innocent children out on roads, their safety becomes the first priority.
This incident clearly shows negligence, where a child was left exposed to danger.
Children cannot judge speed, distance, or risk. That responsibility lies entirely with parents.
Important Safety Reminder for Parents
- Roads are unpredictable
- Vehicles cannot stop instantly
- Drivers may not always react in time
- Alert parenting is the real protection
Final Warning
This time, the child’s life was saved. Next time, luck may not stand by.
Parents are urged to understand one simple truth:
“Adrushtam kaadu, jagraththae asalu raksha.”
(Luck is not protection—alertness is.)
