Overview
- After a viral Instagram story showed Alma Cwirkaluk, 12, driving on a rural road, the National Road Safety Agency (ANSV) requested the inhabilitation of her mother Valeria Aquino’s driver’s license.
- ANSV cited breaches of Argentina’s traffic law that forbids minors from operating vehicles and noted the girl’s improper use of a seatbelt in the footage.
- The clip was posted on December 25 with the caption, “Criar también es enseñar a hacer, no solo a mirar,” which fueled polarized reactions online over parenting decisions and children’s exposure on social media.
- Ezequiel “El Polaco” Cwirkaluk said he was unaware of the filming and distanced himself, while his partner Barby Silenzi declined to comment.
- Following the backlash, Aquino shared a letter from her daughter on social media as the administrative process proceeds and a potential sanction remains pending.
