These days, it seems like you can hardly move in public without the risk of doing so on the internet.
We have officially entered the era of viral videos and stories, which means that awkward, amusing, and even private movies and images of us may be published and disseminated around the internet in a matter of seconds.
Even if this might be misused, there are situations when it can be beneficial; for instance, when someone is called out for doing something wrong.
When an Instagram photo went viral in early March purporting to show a message presented by a parent who had left her infant in the car to rush inside Target to do some shopping, I can only suppose that’s what internet users thought was occurring.
Is that sufficient to halt the heart? There’s more in this story than what first meets the eye, so don’t worry.
Influencer Bonnie Engle posted a reel to her Instagram in March, and it quickly went viral. The video has received millions of views and more than 1,000 comments since it was posted.
In the questioned video, a close-up of a handwritten note pasted inside a car window that reads, “My baby is OK. He is eating and drinking right now! Im in Target, i’ll be back soon!”
It goes without saying that the note alone was enough to startle a significant majority of those who watched the video.
However, many who were willing to give the movie a chance quickly realized that Engle is more of a naughty spouse than a horrible mother. The camera pans back seconds after the previously described close-up on the message in the window to reveal that Engle’s baby in the car is actually her husband.
The influencer wrote in the Instagram reel’s post. “Please no judgment, He is fine and safe.”
She can see her husband waiting inside the car eating popcorn.
Thankfully, viewers who commented on Bonnie’s clip found it amusing.
One person wrote, “My heart fell after that I LMAO.”
Another person stated, “Leaving kids in the car is so much easier.
A third said, “I hadn’t expected that. For a moment I was about to get really upset.”
Here’s the video:
According to sources, Engels writes a lot of hilarious material that will appeal to moms who can identify with the pressures of parenting on a daily basis.

Although this video was obviously intended to be humorous, it’s always important to keep in mind the dangers of leaving kids (or pets, for that matter) in warm cars.
