A courtroom was filled with emotion after a man who had saved his son’s life was still sentenced to jail.
According to reports, the father acted in desperation during a life-threatening moment for his child. While his actions did save the boy, they also broke the law — leading prosecutors to press charges.
As the judge read out the sentence, a woman in the gallery, believed to be a family member, broke down in tears, shouting that he was a hero, not a criminal.
The case has sparked heated debate online. Many are calling the punishment unfair, arguing that no parent should be jailed for protecting their child, while others insist the law has to be applied equally no matter the circumstance.
Clips of the emotional courtroom scene have gone viral, with thousands demanding the man’s release and praising him as a father who put everything on the line for his son.
