A viral video showing a giant cobra calmly moving away as a child tries to touch it has sparked an online debate about why snakes rarely harm children.
In the clip, the child reaches out to grab the massive snake, but rather than striking, the cobra gently slithers away.
One commenter questioned why some parents would allow their kids to test such a risky theory with a dangerous snake, writing:
“Why do parents let their kids test this hypothesis with a freaking cobra? There’s, unfortunately, an exception to every rule.”
Another user offered a spiritual perspective, saying:
“The spirit of a child is pure and clean!”
A different comment, accompanied by a laughing emoji, suggested supernatural involvement:
“This case isn’t an innocent one. That’s spiritual power at work here. This snake is controlled by unseen entities. We have similar occurrences in Africa where kids born near coastal areas never drown. I’ll leave it at that.”
The video has fueled discussions about snake behavior, spirituality, and parental responsibility, leaving many wondering whether this was a natural phenomenon or something beyond explanation.
