Among all these artwork and screenshots one of them got viral and has generated a lot of speculation from the community. Fans spotted a kid in the image with two other NPC characters. Historically the developers have avoided including children as non-playable characters in the game, which is likely due to the violent nature of the game.

The above screenshot is a scene from the Grassrivers region of Leonida Keys; it is an area that is inspired by the real-life Florida Everglades. In this image some fans believe that the person sitting with the other two NPCs is a kid because he appears to be smaller compared to other surrounding characters. The place where these characters are spotted is a restaurant. The picture is all over the internet, with fans from the community claiming it to be a child as an NPC in the game. However, the developers, i.e., Rockstar Games, haven’t confirmed anything yet about them including a child NPC in the game. The company's silence leaves room for the fans to further speculate.
