We have witnessed some frightening footage of late, but it is not difficult to see why this video recording has gone viral.

 

Social services in the States are looking for a couple who were recorded putting their children into the boot of their car, because there wasn’t enough room for them in the backseat.

 

The footage was captured by a customer of a pizza restaurant, who witnessed the family pull up outside and unload at least two children from the boot.

 

Witnesses claim that the family came in and tried to order food but couldn’t afford to buy anything, before going back outside to their vehicle. There, the children proceeded to jump back inside the boot of the car.

 

The footage was handed over to the Department of Children and Families (DCF) in Jacksonville, Florida, and the Sherriff’s Office is currently trying to establish the identity of the parents.

 

A spokesperson for the DCF said: “When you see something like this, children being treated this way, you have to wonder what is happening in the home, what’s going on with these kids.”
