A video circulating on social media captured the attention of many, showing two young children making surprising claims about their father.

The clip, shared by TikTok user @thequestforachild on the video streaming platform, garnered a mix of reactions from viewers.

The video begins with the mother asking her young daughter about her husband's whereabouts, to which the little girl boldly states that he is cheating on her mother. When pressed for details, the girl specifies the alleged affair is with a woman from Rosebank College. At this point, her younger brother chimes in, correcting her and insisting the woman is from East London. The mother then asks both children if their father has a girlfriend from East London, and they both agree.

The girl further reveals the name of Emily, prompting a shocked gasp from her brother, who looks back at his sister as she sips milk from a juice bottle. The mother then playfully suggests this new person might become their new mother, but the children quickly object, stating the person would only be their dad's girlfriend, and their mom would remain that, expressing fear of a potentially "evil" new figure taking their toys. When asked where they learn such things, the boy simply points to YouTube and other social media platforms.

Others said the kids were too young to lie, saying that where there was smoke, there was probably fire
