In a recent viral post, a TikToker who also works as a bus driver has sparked online discussions after sharing content involving students on his bus, drawing criticism from netizens.
The TikTok account, which has more than 600,000 followers, has sent netizens into a frenzy not only because he’s been posting videos without consent from the children’s parents but also due to the inappropriate captions that come with them.
The students are minors
One netizen voiced his concerns in a post on X (formerly known as Twitter), calling out the TikToker and sharing that after reading the captions, something about them just didn’t sit right with him.
The caption of the post reads,
“Many have spoken up about this suspicious Tiktok account which has more than 600k followers.”
“You don’t post someone’s daughter who’s still in primary school with the caption ‘today my crush is doing homework’.”
“We’re ready to cooperate with D11 IPK Johor”
The post has garnered significant attention, drawing widespread discussion across social media platforms. Even the Minister of Women, Family and Community Development noticed it and has since spoken up about the situation.
Nancy Shukri addressed the incident, stating that such behaviour is unacceptable and should not be normalised. She also instructed officers from the Jabatan Pembangunan Kanak-Kanak (JPKK) to file a police report immediately.
“Sharing pictures or videos of a child without the parent’s permission is a violation of the child’s rights and privacy under the Child Act 2001 [Akta Kanak-Kanak 2001],” she added.
Netizens’ response
Some netizens took it upon themselves to dig deeper into the TikToker’s background, even sharing screenshots of his response after being called out by numerous people for his actions.
One netizen commented on one of the TikToker’s videos, asking how old he is to even have a crush on someone that young, pointing out that the netizen’s own daughter could be around the same age as the student in the video.
The TikToker responded with,
“You make a valid point, but I’ve been creating content on TikTok for years, and so far, the parents have been fine with it, unlike you. Maybe you’re just new to TikTok and don’t quite understand the difference between what is and isn’t content.”
Meanwhile, others flooded the comment section, sharing their thoughts and reactions to the situation.
“How does he even have 600K followers? Meaning people have normalised this? This has to be reported immediately.”
“If these kids’ parents and TikTok users think it’s ‘okay,’ then we’ll hold those parents, enablers, and potential predators accountable. We’ll track you down and do whatever it takes to protect those kids.”
“Just think about how many enablers must be in the comment section for him to have 600K followers.”
