Dikkatsiz Çiftin Selfie Sevdası Çocuklarını Canından Ediyordu!
A man runs into the surf and lifts a young child from the water while the parents continue smiling toward their camera, in footage broadcast by Turkey's Kanal D Haber.
The report places the incident on a beach in India. The couple is walking along the shoreline, recording themselves, with the child initially holding the mother's hand. After letting go, the child falls behind them and tumbles onto the sand.
A wave washes over the child as the parents remain facing their camera. Another beachgoer notices, runs over and picks the child up out of the water.
Only after the man calls to the couple do they turn around. They hurry toward him and embrace the child, whom he hands back. The broadcaster describes the rescue as a near-fatal incident; the footage ends with the family reunited.
