In a bizzare incident of reel craze, a woman was seen risking not just her life but the life of a child as well as she filmed a video while sitting on the edge of a well. In the video clip, she was seen changing her hands repeatedly to pose in front of the camera while holding the boy carelessly. The poor boy can be seen clinging to one of her legs, while his body dangles in air above the well. 

However, the woman seemed to have forgotten the potential risk involved in filming such a reel as she is completely engrossed in dancing to a song, risking everything for the sake of a 15-second reel. The video has gone viral on social media and has drawn criticism from the viewers, who are lashing out at her for the high-risk act.

As the video begins, the woman can be seen seated on the well's edge with a child, which is believed to be her own. She is performing dance moves to a song with one hand and is holding the kid with another. She keeps changing her hands with her dance moves to match the music while filming the reel. The boy, meanwhile, was in a more dangerous spot as he had nothing to hold on to apart from the woman's leg, who was engaged in posing for the camera.
