How Did The Internet React?
Social media platforms were inundated with comments following the video's public release, many expressing grave worries for the children's safety.
Some how several tourists (Indians as well as foreigners) coming to Goa have this wrong impression that everything is allowed in Goa. This laissez-faire attitude has to be corrected by continuous strict enforcement and awareness drives. @goacm @DGP_Goa

Sad to see parents being careless. Fun is one thing and being careless is other. Goa makes you relax, however it needs to be disciplined to some extend. Also it gives a wrong message to kids. Such casual approach causes dangerous accidents. Hope people act responsibly
