'It's My Kid, I'll Do As I Wish': Police On The Hunt For Woman Who Made Toddler Vape

'It's My Kid, I'll Do As I Wish': Police On The Hunt For Woman Who Made Toddler Vape

An Instagram video of a toddler vaping has caused a massive stir and forced the Malaysian police to look for the account owner.

A recently uploaded Instagram video of a toddler offered with an electronic vaporisers – and then inhaling it – has created a stir on social media with the Malaysian police looking for the Instagram account owner, reportedly a woman.

In the video, the toddler in diapers, tries two puffs of the electronic vaporisers – better known as vape. The child is then seen bending forward and covering his mouth in discomfort, possibly due to inhaling the vapour from the device.

An adult hand could also be seen lightly hitting the toddler’s left arm.  A voice can be heard saying: “Three times already, what did mummy say?”  

According to media reports, the user – believed to be the child’s mother – followed up another Instagram story addressing the backlash from the public, which said: “It’s my kid, I’ll do as I wish. I’m the one taking care of him, stupid!”

Principal assistant director ACP Siti Kamsiah Hassan from the Women and Children Investigation Division was reported in the Malay Mail saying the police had yet to receive any reports regarding this issue.

However, she added that they are in the midst of finding out the owner of the Instagram account for investigations and to save the child.

While this incident may seem to be a rare occurrence, a similar case had surfaced on social media.

In an October 2019 video that was circulated on Twitter, a child wearing diapers was using an electronic cigarette casually like an experienced smoker.

The tweet subsequently went viral in Malaysia, with many netizens expressing outrage and concern over the incident.

One user said: “Do we want something like this to be seen as normal behaviour?”
