According to the man, he was out walking with his daughter in a residential area in Uppsala, when she found a rope on the ground and insisted on playing with a dog.

He reluctantly agreed to let his daughter go on all fours on a leash.

- I thought to myself that this might look a little strange, but what does it matter.

We only walked three or four meters before she stood up again.

But during the short period, a stranger managed to film them from a distance.

The video then went viral, and according to the father, it had over a million interactions and thousands of shares when he found out.

- I got anxiety when I saw how big the spread was, became very stressed and felt helpless.

People had commented on dark things like "report him to the police" and "this is evil", he says.

Got comments at school

The daughter, who is under ten years old, is said to have heard from other children at school that they have seen her in the social media app.

In the end, the father managed to get rid of the video by contacting the person who posted it.

- She apologized and said that she did not mean anything bad.

I think more she wanted to post it for likes and attention but was not prepared for the big spread.

After the hanging, the man says that he has become more aware of how he acts in public, because everything you do can be distorted and taken out of context.

- It's very scary, he says.

Tiktok's communications manager Parisa Khosravi does not comment on the specific case, but states that Tiktok deletes 95% of the videos that violate the app's guidelines.

"Since then, we encourage everyone to report the videos or comments that do not belong on Tiktok to us," she writes in an email to SVT.
