A video showing a mother piercing her baby daughter’s nose has gone viral, sparking widespread discussion on social media about child safety and cultural practices.
Mother pierce young daughter’s nose
In the clip, the mother can be seen holding her young daughter as she attempts to pierce the child’s nose.
According to the woman, performing the procedure at this age would be less painful than waiting until the child is older.
After the act, she asks the baby if it hurt, and gently reassures her that it did not.
Social media reactions
The video has divided viewers. Some defended the mother’s actions as part of cultural tradition, while others criticised it as harmful to the child.
Commenting on the video, @xelnxf wrote: “I don’t see anything wrong with this. Piercing is normal for the girl child.”
Similarly, @omolyaake… added, “If they arrest her now, she will be crying! Allow this toddler to enjoy being a baby.”
However, many expressed concern over potential harm.
@Youngsixtus questioned the mother’s approach, saying, “What is she trying to teach the little girl at this tender age? Some women and their ideology sometimes is weird.”
@Okaji commented, “If I were her husband, omoo it’s over! What nonsense.”
@Ifybekee wrote, “This is child abuse. The mother needs to be arrested. She is abusing the child’s rights as a minor.”
The video highlights a growing online debate over the balance between cultural traditions and child welfare, with reactions ranging from support to outright condemnation.
