someone else appeared to be holding the child’s hand. “1000 ‘likes’ or I’ll let him go,” the man—whose name was not revealed—allegedly said in his Facebook post.
According to reports, it was Facebook users themselves who reported the abuse of the minor seen in the photo this Sunday and notified the police, so that the individual could be captured.
Now, the subject – who in some places was identified as the father of the child, but who, as has been clarified, is only a relative – has been sentenced to 2 years in prison for endangering the life of the minor.
The man denied to authorities that he had threatened the child’s safety. “The photo was taken on a balcony with safety barriers. These were removed,” he claimed. According to the BBC, the child’s father also pleaded for leniency for his relative, insisting it was all just a game. Is that so?
