The clip was shared on TikTok and soon attracted attention from viewers who found the scene difficult to watch without emotion.
Identified as @dekiyatolami94 on TikTok, the boy's mother explained that she recorded the moment shortly after an unexpected incident took place.
According to her, the boy had been playing a game on her device when it slipped from his grasp.

She suggested that the loss weighed heavily on the boy, and that he turned to the portrait for comfort in a moment of disappointment.
