The video, which has amassed over 500,000 views, has ignited a storm of criticism towards the girl's parents, with many accusing them of endangering their child for the sake of social media attention. “Are you kidding me?

Smh.” Calls for Child Protective Services to intervene were echoed in several comments, highlighting the risks involved in the stunt.“She’s just a little girl; why do people want views so badly that they don’t even think about their own kids?” one user asked.

Some users praised the young girl's bravery, with one commenter saying, “I love the bravery of the little girl; I am impressed.”
