A heartbroken father has made an emotional appeal to Kenyans following the viral spread of photos and videos of his young child on social media. The baby, who many online users have described as unusually beautiful, has attracted massive attention, but not all of it has been positive.
The father says he is deeply disturbed by comments labeling his child as strange or unnatural. According to him, what started as harmless admiration quickly turned into hurtful remarks and insensitive speculation about the baby’s appearance. He explained that such comments are painful not only to him and his family but could also affect the child in the future.
He urged social media users to remember that behind every viral post is a real family with real emotions. The father emphasized that his child is healthy, loved, and deserves a normal life away from public scrutiny. He asked Kenyans to stop turning the baby into content and instead allow the family to raise their child in peace.
Many Kenyans online have since expressed sympathy and support, calling for kindness and responsibility in online spaces. Others have reminded the public that children should always be protected from unnecessary exposure and criticism.
The incident has reignited conversations about cyberbullying, consent, and the impact of viral culture on innocent families, with many urging greater compassion and restraint when engaging online.
