Kids are impressionable and with a mind like a sponge at an early age, it's easy for them to pick up things they see and are taught. This learning then tends to stay with them for life.
So it¡¯s extremely important to make sure that the things that they are exposed to aren¡¯t harmful in any way.
But what if a kid¡¯s own family member delves in objectionable activities and encourages the kids to do same? This is exactly what happened in a UP district where a grandfather was seen encouraging two of his grand kids to drink and smoke.

In a video that¡¯s sending shock waves online, a grandfather can also be seen teaching a new set of alphabets to his grandchildren in which 'A' stands for alcohol and 'B' for beedi.
The incident is said to have taken place in Bahadurpur, an area that comes under the Atrauli police station. The elderly man, who is said to be the grandfather of the two minors, can be seen sitting on a cot and casually smoking and drinking with the? kids.
He then asks the kids to hold out disposable glasses as he pours liquor in them.
The man then adds water to the glasses and asks the minors to drink, and all the while the guy filming the whole incident adds water to the glass of alcohol and asks the kids to down it in under a minute!

Things get worse. Another guy present at the scene can also be seen pouring beer in the glasses. This man had the guts to tell the children that it was ¡®nothing but juice¡¯ and forces them to drink it as fast as they can.
Just as if this wasn¡¯t enough, the grandfather decides to take things to the next level by lighting a beedi. The heartless man lights one up and teaches the kids how to smoke.
He then hands over the beedi to one of the minors and asks him to hold it with just one hand.
After the minor takes a puff, the elderly man asks him to pass on the beedi to the other minor. After a round of puffs, the man takes the beedi and asks the minors to exhale the smoke.
The intoxicated children can be seen cupping their hands for snacks that their grandfather ''lovingly'' offers to them. The man then asks the children to hold the bottle in one hand and the glass in another, as he places the snacks in the middle.
The behaviour of the bunch of adults in the video is nothing short of psychopathic. It¡¯s heartbreaking to even think that people like these exist in a world that¡¯s already ridden with evil.
Thankfully, soon after the video started doing the rounds online, police in UP caught hold of it and started investigating.
Senior Superintendent of Police (Aligarh) Manilal Patidar said that the police have taken cognisance of the video and will nab the culprits soon. The SSP added that they will register a case against the accused after conducting a preliminary investigation.
