The mother of the 17-year-old boy, who allegedly fatally knocked down two persons with his high-end car, has appealed to the police to “protect” her son after a video purportedly featuring him boasting about how he got away with the accident went viral.
In a heartfelt video message, the teen’s mother emphasized that the viral clip had nothing to do with her son and insisted that it was fake. She urged the authorities to ensure her son’s safety amidst the growing public outrage.
The incident, which occurred last week, has garnered significant media attention, leading to widespread condemnation and calls for stricter actions against juvenile offenders. The viral video, allegedly showing the teen bragging about the incident, has only intensified the public outcry.
“My son is innocent, and the video that is circulating online is not of him. It is a fake video meant to tarnish his reputation and further complicate his situation. I request the police to protect him and investigate the source of this malicious content,” the mother said in her message.
The police have acknowledged the mother’s plea and assured a thorough investigation into both the fatal accident and the authenticity of the viral video. They have also promised to ensure the safety and fair treatment of the accused teen.
As the investigation continues, the case has sparked a debate on juvenile justice and the responsibilities of parents and guardians in such situations. The authorities are expected to provide updates on their findings in the coming days.
