A male was caught on camera whispering to a small boy and then biting his ear in a potentially sexual way.

The police are now involved too

poor boy

I saw the video and there was creepy behaviour right up until the biting.

The way the man’s demeanour changed when he realised the camera was on them was really shocking.

TBH, I feel quite upset the child’s face has been plastered everywhere. That child is, in my opinion, already in an awful situation and now had their face shown. The child must be very distressed by it all.

I hope for once South Yorkshire Police do their job.

Do you think children's pastors and youth pastors should be male?I had a children's pastor youth pastor in middle school who grew entirely too close to me gave me unwanted hugs,stared at me sexually and I was 12 and he was 50 he eventually started touching me sexually and I grew too scared to say something.This was all in the sight of the other church female goers. Do you think male adult preachers should have open access to children ?

I’m glad it’s been caught on camera and I’m glad police are investigating

It’s so creepy and inappropriate 😢 that poor boy

I found it very weird, creepy and I appropriate. I hope the kid is OK.
