Child’s movements seemingly unnoticed by mother
As the child continued crossing, she briefly turned and looked at her mother, who was standing off to one side.The mother, seemingly unaware of her child’s movements, glanced up and began walking toward her.
She appeared to point and say something, perhaps urging her daughter to finish crossing.

When the child remained still on the road, the mother hurried to her side.

The video’s caption also suggests that earlier, the father had carried their older child across the road, and the mother only realised her younger child had crossed unattended moments later.
