Even after their relationship was clearly shared in the caption, the video reached over 4.4 million views and 71,000 likes until the comments were shut down because of unsuitable messages. There are those who say the content mixes up feelings for family and feelings of love which sparks debates about showing such gestures publicly.
The incident is one of many when those who watch or interpret content worry that parents’ behavior, shown with their children, suggests hidden and inappropriate ideas. Another video appeared featuring a mother asking her son to give her a ‘slimy kiss’ in exchange for shoes, pulling opinions into the discussion.

Since social media keeps changing, anyone making content should be aware of how their actions could affect minors, so they can avoid being offensive and protect minors.
