Bengaluru woman's viral video calls out harassment by young boys
Ritika Suryavanshi from Bengaluru shared on Instagram that she was harassed by three children, aged 10-12, after her 5K run.
The children reportedly made lewd comments and laughed at her as she left a forest trail.
Her video quickly went viral, sparking outrage and conversations online about respect and behavior.
Why is everyone talking about it?
In her post, Ritika wrote, "When girls are taught to cover up more than boys are taught to respect," highlighting the bigger issue of how kids learn these attitudes.
She describes in the video that she turned back and scolded the children—first hesitating because of their age, then calling them out for their behavior.
Many online echoed her concerns, with one user saying basic manners seem rare these days and others sharing similar experiences or praising Ritika for speaking up.
