A video of a flower seller who gave in to her son's demand for an iPhone after he went on a hunger strike has gone viral on the internet, sparking a flurry of comments from netizens.
Platform X user Incognito shared the video of the mother and son at the store buying the expensive gadget. The mother is heard saying the boy went on a three-day hunger strike to press for his demand. The mother, who sells flowers outside a temple for a living, finally relented.
"Too much love will always destroy children. Parents should know where to draw the line. This is harsh but no parent deserves children like him," the post read.

Tbh, if I were in the place of that reel maker, I would have asked him to work at that shop for 2 years and then offer 2 iphones at the end; he needs lesson on responsibilty. All shops could stay united and dont sell without him working hard.

A shameful moment for Indian understanding of technology as a social status.

Children should be grateful to their parents because parents do more than their capacity for their children. How many flowers must his poor mother have sold to buy that iPhone..?
