Now, the police is actively looking to identify the parents of the child after the video has gone viral on social media and sparked outrage among people.
People took to the comments section to criticise the boy's parents for allowing him to drive at such a young age. They also added that it would put him as well as others at risk.
'Even if it's a prank, the car should be impounded and the parents of the kid should be penalised,' wrote one user. Another commented, 'This is really insane, it's really more than just being irresponsible. The family doesn't even show any care for their own kid, forget the ones around him'.

A police official told Samaa TV that they have been instructed to look for the child's parents and that action will be taken against them for putting the lives of the child as well as others in harm's way.
