It turned out that she was deeply upset to hear about unkind comments being made by her schoolmates about her brother who was disabled.
She wrote in the caption:
Today, Haris’ sister came home after school with tears because her friends at school mocked her brother’s disabilities, bent legs, that we’re underprivileged people and stupid. Ya Allah, no manners at such a young age. What a pity.
Speaking to WeirdKaya, Yusrina mentioned the school authorities is currently investigating the matter and will be taking action against those involved.
She added that every parent should educate their kids on how to treat people who have disabilities as they did not ask to be born in such a manner.
“My intention is not to make my daughter to go viral. It’s just to show how much my daughter loves her little brother even though she had to face embarrassment,” she explained, adding that she was upset over the lack of compassion shown by her daughter’s schoolmates.
Netizens sympathise
The clip has since garnered 3 million views at the time of writing along with hundreds of comments from netizens who were saddened to see Yusrina’s daughter crying over her schoolmates’ remarks.
Remember, kindness begins at home and to all parents, do teach your children to show compassion towards those from the disabled or underprivileged community!
