  "summary": "The Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency (DSVA) has condemned a viral video in which a child was publicly mocked and ridiculed for bedwetting. The video, which circulated on social media, showed several women teasing a young boy dressed in traditional attire, with one of them even waving cash during the episode. The DSVA described the behavior as an act of verbal and emotional abuse, emphasizing that bedwetting should not be used as a reason to shame, ridicule, or humiliate a child. The agency stressed that children should be raised in environments where they feel secure and supported, particularly when dealing with situations beyond their control. The video has sparked reactions online, with some viewers finding humor in the situation, while others criticized the adults for publicly embarrassing the child.",
