As per reports, the said videos showed the son - aged between 10 and 12 - dancing inappropriately and making sexual gestures with the mother in reels shared on a social media account with over a lakh followers. Following DCW's complaint, the Instagram account has reportedly been taken down. 

"The videos of the woman and the child are obscene. Her activities in the videos can be termed as sexual activities with a minor child... Such actions of the woman cannot be considered as appropriate behaviour of an adult person with a minor child, that too her own child," the DCW said in their notice to the cops, undersigned by chief Swati Maliwal.

Maliwal has said the woman's acts are "tarnishing the sacred relationship of mother and son."

The issue has earned wide criticism, with netizens angered over the allegation the woman used her underage son for content. "How can someone stoop so low to get likes n following on social media. Where we as society are heading to. Such a shame," one Twitter user wrote.

"Creativity ke naam pe kya kya dekhne milta hai," another said. "This is straight away child abuse!!" another wrote.

"The child in question, who appears to have been sexualised at such an early stage and is being taught to objectify his own mother, shall, if not checked today, be prone to objectifying other women as well and may develop a criminal mentality": DCW
