In contrast to the previous era, where access to mobile phones for minors was limited, today’s generation of young children enjoys the freedom to explore the internet, engaging in activities like TikTok challenges and various unconventional online trends.
One notable instance involved a Kenyan girl, aged approximately 10 to 13, who garnered admiration on TikTok. She boldly undertook the challenge of dancing to Boutross Munene’s song, featuring Konshens, titled ‘Angela Remix.’
The 58-second video was shared on the TikTok page of a user known as Luhya Queen. In the footage, the young girl showcased her impressive dance skills, unexpectedly incorporating twerking into her performance. Despite her tender age, she executed the dance moves with a level of expertise that left viewers surprised.
The video triggered a range of reactions online, with a majority of TikTokers expressing admiration for the young girl’s talents. Numerous comments reflected positive sentiments towards her exceptional dancing abilities.
The prevalence of such incidents, where young children create a buzz online, particularly on platforms like TikTok, is on the rise. Some have even managed to monetize their talents through dance. While this can be advantageous, it is crucial to provide guidance to these youngsters to ensure responsible use of the platform and prevent any potential misuse.
