Woman uses baby as an umbrella during downpour
Updated | By The Scenic Drive with Rian
A video showing a woman running for shelter from the rain while carrying a baby on top of her head has caused outrage online.

A video in which a woman is seen running through the rain while holding a baby above her head has made the rounds on the internet.
The woman, presumably the mother of the child, is using the child to cover her own face and hair in the downpour.

It does appear as if she decides to run back to her car after realising that the rain was not going to stop anytime soon. But the question remains: what was she thinking using her baby as a shield in the first place?
Reactions to the video varied from confusion to fascination:
I really do hope that wasn’t her kid lol

If you can’t use your kid as an umbrella ☔️ then why even have a kid ? I sympathize with her and applaud her forward thinking 🙌
