"One hand holding the truck and the other hand is (sniffing) glue," the post which was published two days ago read.

The post received attention from social media users who were not only worried about the child's safety but also endangering other road users including the lorry driver.

The actions of the children are also linked to the intake of delusional substances such as glue so that they do not realise that the actions they are doing can bring harm to themselves.
