A teenager in India went on a hunger strike until his mother bought him an iPhone. Video footage taken by a phone shop owner shows the boy confessing to refusing to eat for three days until his mother gave in. The boy’s mother apparently sells flowers outside of a temple for a living. “I am happy but I want him to earn and bring back the money,” his mother said in the video, which was posted to X by journalist Abhishek. Some users online are accusing the boy of financial and emotional “torture.” (Oddity Central)
