Smoking toddler video triggers investigations
JAKARTA:
Indonesian authorities have launched investigations into a video showing a two-year-old boy smoking a cigarette posted on YouTube.
The little boy named Ardi Rizal, who reportedly lives in a village on Sumatra island is said to smoke at least 40 a day. Apparently, he got into the habit because of his father.
The ministry for women's empowerment and child protection says it will investigate the parents and community of the toddler.
A similar video showing a 4-year-old Indonesian boy taking long and frequent drags on a cigarette appeared on internet last month.
