JAKARTA - Ria Ricis and Teuku Ryan's decision to bring their 5-month-old son, Cut Raifa Aramoana, did not only attract the attention of the Indonesian public. Ricis's action was also highlighted by international media.

A journalist named Charissa Cheong made an article entitled A YouTube mom with 30 million subscribers filmed her baby on a jet ski with no life jacket, sparking concern among viewers (A YouTube mother with 30 million subscribers filmed her baby riding a jet ski without life jackets, sparking concern among the audience) in an online media based in the United States, Insider.

In his writing, Charissa highlighted how Ricis's content received a negative response from the public. He likened Ricis's case to two other cases from the United States, where parents created content with their young children and later received criticism from the public.

The first case was a parent from Utah who received sharp criticism after sharing a video where he took his then 6-month-old son for water skiing. He was criticized for including minors in dangerous sports.

Then the second case was a parent who came from Kentucky who was also a YouTuber. He was criticized for uploading a video of his 6-year-old son who was seen crying while participating in a marathon.

Charissa also highlighted how Ria Ricis doesn't pay attention to guidelines for someone getting on a jetski. According to some websites, there is no law that prohibits parents from bringing their children on jetski, but most manufacturer guidelines about jetski recommend that all passengers should be able to safely reach the floor of the vehicle's legs on both feet, Charissa Cheong wrote in her article.

The article in Insider was later rewritten in Hong Kong-based media, South China Morning Post. The article in the media is titled Indonesian YouTuber under fire for video of infant daughter on a jet ski.

Previously, Ria Ricis felt that there was no problem if she was considered to often make her child content. He reasoned that many parents also create content with their children.

It seems that many parents also brought their children to be documented. Thank God (my owner) has been highlighted, seen by many people, thank God. Like yesterday, we also made sensory play, we actually documented a lot," said Ria Ricis when met in the Pancoran area, South Jakarta on Monday, January 9.
