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

What?? It's not his dad? Who is it to him then?

It could be an uncle from what I can see from facebook. If you Google Matt Wallace on twitter there is more info.

I haven't googled but is this name the man you, or twitter, think it is?

If so I am not sure you should be putting names out there, without any evidence. That's how vigilante groups start!

Seen this is random Twitter bloke's name who is then naming the person he thinks is responsible. I'm not sure it's a good idea to link names in MN tbh.

No that's not the man's name. Matt Wallace is on twitter and has been covering the case.

And genuinely I don't think South Yorkshire police would've spent more than two minutes reviewing the footage before deciding it wasn't worth pursuing due to the amount of time required. I hope that the Italian authorities take forward the lead however.

Edited

Matt Wallace is not someone I would trust with the truth, his whole X feed is fake AI photos and theories about Michelle Obama really being a man. When I looked on his account I see that I had him blocked quite a while ago, and I don’t block many people, they generally have to be either abusive or racist. He has reposted the same post about the snooker incident multiple times in a really sensationalist manner, with photos of the child splashed across them.

Creepy as hell,and I can't believe some here are excusing that behaviour..I hope you don't have children 🤢😡

The man's behaviour as soon as the child waves is very telling. He looked embarrassed that he had been caught. Vile creep 🤢

The footage is pixilated so it's a bit difficult to form an opinion of what actually happened

I saw the non-censored version on a Canadian news site. I thought without pixilation, it certainly looked unusual but not necessarily sexual.

I can't believe how ridiculous this is getting. 'Call the Italian Police' and name dropping.

This is how people get lynched, the internet masses get carried away with absolute nonsense.
