Shocking second father drags younger boy via the snow by his backpack then throws him on the bottom and walks away
This is the shocking moment a father drags a young boy through the snow by his backpack before tossing him on the ground and walking away.
The footage captured the duo walking through the Nassfeld ski resort, Carnic Alps, Austria, before the incident took place.
In the clip, the father, donning a yellow waterproof can be seen struggling to get the child – who social media believe to be his son – to stand as he battles with the boy’s backpack.
After a moment of attempting to get the boy to walk forward, the dad resorts to flipping him around to place him behind him before beginning dragging him.
The young boy drags his heels through the snow as the man storms up a hill, leaving the boy slumped in his grip.
Once the father reaches his destination, he flings his arm around in front of him and releases the child into the snow on the ground.
As the video comes to an end, the boy can be seen on the floor as the father walks away, leaving him in the snow.
The bizarre footage quickly made its rounds on social media and stirred up controversy from parents and viewers.

One social media user wrote beneath the Facebook clip: ‘Unbelievable to post something like this – a child is being “disposed of” like a garbage bag.
A mother added: ‘I’m a mom myself and I know what children can be like, but that’s, well. No, and the way he throws the child at the end. I don’t know, that doesn’t have to happen’.
‘This is very careless and violent. The little man – like children in general – needs loving support and parents who recognise and respond attentively to their child’s needs. If dad wants to go skiing, no matter how bad the weather, that doesn’t mean the child wants to too…’ another angered viewer said.
Another user commented: ‘I find it unacceptable to throw a child away like a wet sack in public!’
One more added: ‘Poor child… simply disgusting… hope someone did something about it and didn’t just film it…’
Sigi Fink, who shared the video on his Facebook profile but did not record it himself, also wrote: ‘Please don’t drag your children around the ski areas like that today.’
The post has racked up over 909,000 views and 770 comments since being uploaded on Saturday morning.
Nassfeld is the largest ski resort in Carinthia with 110km of slopes in all levels of difficulty, 30 lifts, and 25 ski huts.
