New Delhi, Jul 20: The Delhi Commission for Women has demanded that an FIR be filed against a woman who has allegedly uploaded a video clip of 'vulgar dance' with her son on social media. The woman is said to have done the act to gain popularity on social media.

In the video, the woman can be seen dancing in a vulgar and provocative manner with a boy supposedly 10-12 years of age who she claims to be her son, the panel said.

The woman had posted the video on Instagram reels from an account that has more than 1.60 lac followers.

The DCW has stated that in the video the woman performed such activities 'which can be termed as sexual activities with a minor child'. The DCW said that such activities will not only severely affect the mental state of the child involved in the video, but will also cause a negative impact over the people including other children watching the video."

"The child in question, who appears to have been sexualized at such an early stage and is being taught to objetify his own mother, shall, if not checked today, be prone to objectifying other women as well and may develop a criminal mentality. The manner in which the male child in the video appears to be sexualized, it needs to be investigated whether he is/has been subjected to other forms of sexual abuse," it said.

The DCW has asked the Delhi Police to register an FIR in the matter and arranged for counselling and rehabilitation of the child.

DCW chief Swati Maliwal stated, “While social media acts as an amazing platform to showcase talent, people sometimes cross all limits of shamelessness in a pursuit of gaining popularity... We have also asked the police to get these posts deleted from all platforms.'
