A video featuring a child consuming what appears to be Michelob beer has sparked a fierce debate about parental responsibility on social media. Initially shared by a TikTok user, the clip rapidly spread to X (formerly Twitter), where it has faced significant backlash. Many users across both platforms have expressed outrage, emphasizing the apparent lack of parental supervision.
On TikTok, a comment that fueled the anger stated: “It’s ok, it’s just Michelob. It’s basically water.” This remark, perceived as downplaying the seriousness of the situation, only intensified viewers’ concerns for the child’s safety.

The video has prompted even stronger reactions on X, with users condemning the parent involved. “What an awful parent,” one user remarked, while another added, “Clueless parents seem to be all over in today’s society.”
Criticism was also directed at the individual who recorded the incident instead of intervening. One comment highlighted this concern: “Instead of filming it, why didn’t the person immediately notify the parent? Watching the kid do it and filming it makes you just as bad as the neglectful parent is portrayed here.”
The viral video continues to ignite discussions online, with many users advocating for increased accountability from both parents and onlookers in situations affecting child safety.
