Pakistani actress Iqra Aziz is receiving heavy criticism after commenting on the recent brutal assault of a 15-month-old baby at a daycare centre in Noida, India.

A maid was shown on CCTV slapping, throwing, and striking the toddler with a plastic belt.

The daycare director is charged with failing to avoid the attack, and the police have taken the suspect into custody.

Iqra Aziz posted on Instagram advising parents should not send their kids to daycare unless they have reliable family members to watch over them.

Parents who don't have such options should "stop bringing these little flowers into this world," she continued.

Online users responded strongly to her comments, highlighting her privileged status and labeling her "tone-deaf.

Many parents depend on daycare centers and work out of necessity rather than choice, according to social media users.

Instead of placing the blame on parents who worked, they urged people to concentrate on denouncing the abuser.

Iqra Aziz's remarks sparked a larger discussion about working parents' challenges, particularly in cultures where childcare is necessary due to financial constraints.

Critics believe her remarks ignore the realities that many families face, despite the fact that her concern for the safety of children is reasonable.

This dispute highlights the importance of striking a balance between working parent support and child protection, as well as placing the blame on abusers rather than those who are trying their hardest in trying situations.
