In another purported moment captured by the CCTV camera, one of the children allegedly picks up an item and places it inside the father’s pocket as the family stands at the counter.

The video has since drawn attention on social media, with viewers expressing concern over the alleged behaviour and its potential impact on the children.

The incident has also reignited conversation about parental influence and children's behaviour. Many users argued that children often learn by observing adults around them, particularly parents, and questioned what lessons youngsters might absorb when they witness or participate in such actions.
