‘Bad Parenting': Man Slammed For Making Child Pose On Lion's Back
The video recently surfaced online, showing the man holding a kid and trying to make him sit on the lion's back.
It's common for parents to encourage their children to pose for photos during vacations or events. However, one such incident has drawn sharp criticism online. A man, reportedly the boy's father, was seen forcing a young child to pose with a lion. The video, which has recently gone viral, has sparked widespread outrage, raising concerns over both animal cruelty and responsible parenting.
Shared on Instagram, the video shows the man attempting to place the child on the back of a caged lion. Despite the child crying loudly and resisting, the man persists, seemingly unfazed. At one point, his actions appear to agitate the animal, sparking even more concern among viewers.
The man retreated only when the lion seemed ready to attack, prompting him to swiftly grab the child and escape. Fortunately, neither was harmed. At a time when fathers are often seen as protectors and role models, the video has sparked outrage, with many online calling for legal action against the man.
That video sparked a flood of reactions in the comments section. While many called out the man for being careless with such a young child, others were seen upset over the drugging and capturing of animals for human entertainment. A comment read, 'He should be goddam arrested for child endangerment and this child should be taken away from his parents' care. Psychopath parents," while another added, 'How cruel the lion should be free in the wild, not used as a photo opportunity. Poor child, too."
Another one added, 'This video shows this man is not a good parent or capable of taking care of a child. He put his child in danger. I hope CPS is cold and his child is taken away from him."
This isn't the first time careless parenting has drawn backlash online. In another widely shared video, a man is seen placing his young children on top of an adult lion for a photo. Although the lion appeared to be caged, possibly drugged, defanged and declawed, the children looked visibly frightened as they were made to sit on the animal for the sake of a picture.

Never left THE BOYZ? Ju Haknyeon's shocking Insta post slams prostitution rumours after meeting AV star Kirara Asuka
The K-pop world was rocked after Ju Haknyeon was removed from his group, THE BOYZ, following viral rumours that he was seen in Japan with former Japanese adult film actress Kirara Asuka. The controversy quickly spiraled, leaving fans blindsided. One Hundred Label revealed that they had been contacted by Japanese outlet Shūkan Bunshun and subsequently verified the situation directly with the idol. Following this, the agency released an official statement announcing his departure from both THE BOYZ and the label. In response, the idol shared a handwritten apology letter on Instagram, announcing his farewell. Ju Haknyeon claims he never left the group However, a new chapter in the unfolding drama erupted as speculation continued to spread online. Ju Haknyeon returned with a bold, emotional Instagram post, directly calling out the agency and media for their handling of the situation. His words hinted at deeper tensions behind the scenes, leaving fans divided and demanding clarity. Ju Haknyeon's Instagram post "Hello, this is Ju Haknyeon. Despite my clear position that I have not committed any illegal act, I will take legal action, civil and criminal, against reporters and media outlets who continue to write malicious articles. If there is evidence of prostitution, please disclose it to me immediately. Also, I have never left the team and have never agreed to the termination of my exclusive contract. The agency is making it seem like there is a reason for termination of the contract, even though there is no reason for termination, and some media outlets are defaming me by mentioning prostitution without any basis. The agency demanded compensation of over ₩200 million KRW (about $145,000 USD) and told me to leave the company, but I have never accepted it. Regardless, they announced to the press that the termination was confirmed. I want to ask whether the agency's attitude of trying to unilaterally remove me from the group and urge me to terminate my contract by demanding over ₩200 million KRW (about $145,000 USD) just because I was with a famous person in a private setting is the attitude of an agency that should be protecting the artist. When I refused to accept the termination of my contract, they sent me a certified mail stating that the contract was terminated due to my fault, ignoring the procedures stipulated in the contract, and warned me about compensation for damages. Honestly, I am really scared. But if I give up here, this society might become a place where people who have nothing can fall for things they didn't do. I have silently endured this so far, believing the truth will come out. However, when someone attempts to bury people under the pretext of something that didn't happen, I can no longer remain silent. I want to hold accountable the agency that unfairly kicked me out and insisted on terminating my contract without any basis, and the media outlets that mentioned prostitution without confirmation. Regardless, I will go all the way to reveal the truth. I am taking the courage, hoping this fight can give someone a little hope." Prostitution illegal in South Korea Prostitution is illegal and largely frowned upon in South Korea's conservative, Confucian-influenced society. The 2004 Act on the Prevention of Commercial Sex Acts and Protection of Victims strictly prohibits all forms of sex work. However, despite ongoing enforcement efforts, the underground sex industry continues to exist, with authorities frequently conducting raids and imposing penalties on those involved.

Watch: Swedish tourist's ride takes a shocking turn– Here's what happened on the Delhi highway
A Swedish tourist currently travelling across India has alleged that an Uber Intercity driver left him stranded on a Delhi highway in the middle of the day. The traveller, identified as Jonas, shared a video on Instagram detailing the incident, which quickly went viral and triggered a wave of online responses. In the video, Jonas recounted how his cab ride suddenly came to a halt mid-journey, after which the driver claimed the vehicle had broken down. What followed, he said, was completely unexpected. 'When I didn't give him the money, he just left,' says Jonas According to Jonas, the driver demanded ₹5,000 in cash for repairs after stopping the car. In the video, he alleged, 'When I didn't give him the money, he just left.' He said the driver abandoned him on the side of the road, with no help and no clarity on what to do next. Uber attempted to arrange help, but it didn't work Following the incident, Jonas contacted Uber for support. According to the caption of his Instagram post, the company did respond and attempted to organise another ride. However, none of the backup cabs actually arrived. 'They sorted me out with not one, not two, but three replacement rides, all cancelled on me. I assume as I was on the highway,' Jonas wrote. He eventually reached his destination safely, but clarified that it was without Uber's assistance. Uber apologises after the video gains attention As the video gathered momentum online, Uber India responded publicly in the comments section of the post. The official account wrote, 'Hi Jonas, we apologise for this frustrating experience. Our specialised team has investigated and taken appropriate action.' Social media reacts strongly to tourist's complaint Several users took to the comments section to express frustration over the growing number of similar cases involving app-based drivers. One user commented, 'Uber really needs to hire their own drivers. Freelancers keep demanding more money and cancelling without reason.' Another response read, 'This isn't just Uber. It's a mindset of squeezing every rupee from anyone, especially foreigners. I'm sorry you had to face this.' Many others urged Jonas to file a formal complaint, citing the need for stronger accountability in such cases.
