The incident shocked Moroccans as they raised concerns about parents neglecting their children across the country by failing to monitor and care for them. Several described the incident as inhumane, and shocking. Many also called for the death of Jeida's uncle as a form of punishment.
A human rights activist added, "Why do parents neglect their children while we live in a forest filled with bears?"
