Brings back memories...
I was born and raised in Kuwait, but during the Gulf War, we had gone to India, and at that time, my parents only had a scooter to get around on.
I was that kid in the middle back then. Fortunately, both my parents are skinny, so you could actually see me. My sister would also be standing/leaning against the seat in front of dad...!
Those were the days...!!! Also.. no helmet or anything for any of us!

Heck, I remember as a kid on long road trips sleeping in the area behing the rear seats up underneath the rear window in my grandmother's 1975 Lincoln Continental. One sudden stop and I'd have splatted agains the windshield.
We were going to a Royals game when I was 7-8 and I was riding in the back of a jeep pickup with a topper. Glad it had a topper because we flew across some RR tracks doing 45. I went from laying down to bouncing off of the roof back to the bed then back to the roof then to the bed then pressed against the cab because my grandma decided she needed to stop and check the truck out to see if she had left any pieces of it back on the tracks.Heck, I remember as a kid on long road trips sleeping in the area behing the rear seats up underneath the rear window in my grandmother's 1975 Lincoln Continental.

Wen I was a child.... Yep, one of those posts. Anyway, way back when, I used to sleep on the back deck of my parent's car, just under the rear windshield.
Nobody thought anything of it. All kids did it. It's just the way it was. Same timeframe: My parents both rode bikes. My brother rode behind my dad, because he was younger and more troublesome. I rode behind my mother because I was older and more mature. My parent's had 3/4 helmets. That was the extent of my whole families gear, back then.
I am ATGATT, now. All The Way. Unfortunately such a monetary investment is simply out of the range of the majority of the world's two wheelers. I feel sorry for the child, as I feel bad for the parents. I wouldn't feel shame for my country of origin, though. Crazy stuff is not limited to any one country, and most often simple lack of money or ignorance comes into play.
