According to the filmed footage, the location is known as a local scenic spot in Beijing, Hongjing Road. It is a 19-kilometer (12-mile) winding road with sharp bends.
But the height of slope is not clear though but the twisting road is said to be coiling the mountain seven times. And Reaching a height of 905 meters (2,969 feet) above sea level.
While the parents were filming the dangerous act without giving it a second thought, few passersby can be heard crying –
‘Look, look! The kid’s hands are shaking!’
Thousands of Chinese web users felt horrified by the video. Many were criticizing the parent’s thoughtless behaviour
One angry user wrote –
‘He doesn’t deserve to be a father! I feel so sorry for the child to have parents like this.’
While another user said on the reckless behaviour of the father –
‘Oh my god, taking your child’s life as a joke just for some photos! A bunch of stupid and thoughtless idiots!’
Every person in this photo is culpable for not preventing or stopping this. As for the father, he will likely face some pretty hefty charges and the potential loss of his son if LE ever catches up to him.
