Social media activist VeryDarkMan has sparked fresh reactions online after a video of him interacting with a young boy, introduced as his “new son,” went viral.
The development comes after a woman allegedly brought the child forward, claiming he was fathered by the activist following a past encounter.
In the widely circulated clip, VeryDarkMan is seen speaking playfully yet firmly with the boy, outlining what appeared to be mock “rules” of responsibility inside the home, a moment that quickly drew attention online.
“If you wake up, you’ll come and check if I have woken up. You’ll have to wake up before me and bring me hot, cold, and room-temperature water. Then I’ll choose the one I want to drink,” he told the child.
He also took time to offer advice, encouraging the boy to stay physically fit and strong so he would not be vulnerable to bullying from other children.
The video has since generated mixed reactions across social media, with users debating both the circumstances surrounding the child and the activist’s unconventional style of interaction.
