Advice Against Performing Traditional Coining on Young Children
A commentator reacted to a video showing a grandmother performing traditional coining on a toddler, leaving the child crying in pain. The speaker warned that young children have delicate skin susceptible to bruising and subcutaneous bleeding from the practice. He urged caregivers to take sick children to a hospital for proper medical treatment instead of using traditional coining.
