A father’s unusual attempt to stop his daughter from eating junk food has sparked a debate on social media, with users divided over whether frightening a child is an appropriate way to teach healthy habits. In a video shared on Instagram by user Archana Singh, the father is seen conducting what appears to be a fake ultrasound of his daughter’s stomach. He uses a computer mouse connected to a laptop as a makeshift scanner, moving it across the child’s belly.

The laptop screen appears to show worms inside her stomach, suggesting that they were caused by eating junk food. The child soon becomes frightened and starts crying before running to her mother for comfort. She then promises to stop eating junk food. The clip has divided viewers. Some saw the prank as an unusual but potentially effective way of encouraging children to avoid unhealthy food. Others questioned whether deliberately frightening a child was the right approach. The debate comes shortly after another video went viral over a similarly frightening attempt to discourage children from an unhealthy habit. At a school in Khatima, Uttarakhand, an activity aimed at warning students about excessive smartphone use reportedly left several children terrified.
“A father’s fake ultrasound cured her daughter’s junk food habit in one go,” a text on the video reads. Several users criticised the father for making his daughter cry, while others said such tactics could have a lasting emotional impact on children.
