I was scrolling through the latest updates around the world in the news and I came across this story about a young boy that was beaten / caned for stealing a piece of chocolate.
I know I said many times that I am a believer in corporal, domestic and judicial punishment, but, when it is administered the correct way.
The way that this boy was punished was a little bit too far and truthfully speaking I believe that the two security officers that did this to this young man should face the same demise.
I know everyone has different views on different types of punishment and how it should be administered, but for any type of punishment for any type of crime should be administered the correct way by people who know how to administer that of .
Oh I do understand that stealing is a crime and and the suspect should be punished but again I will say there is a way to do things and I truly do not believe that this was a way that it should have been done.
This is the moment two supermarket security guards are filmed whipping a naked and gagged teenager as he cries out with every crack of the whip because they suspect him of having stolen chocolate from the shop.
The seventeen-year-old victim, who has remained anonymous, told reporters that he had tried to steal a chocolate bar when the two security guards caught him and took him to a back room.
He said they then stripped him, gagged him and tied him up before starting to whip him.
The shocking incident occurred at the Ricoy supermarket in the Vila Joaniza area of the city of Sao Paulo in the southeastern Brazilian state of the same name.
The seventeen-year-old victim, who has remained anonymous, told reporters that he had tried to steal a chocolate bar when the two security guards caught him and took him to a back room.
In the video, he can be seen standing naked in the corner of a room with a gag in his mouth as he is brutally whipped. He can be heard crying from the pain through the gag as other voices laugh.
One of the voices can be heard saying “are you going to come back” and the naked teenager shakes his head.
He said they then stripped him, gagged him and tied him up before starting to whip him.
The youngster told reporters: “He said that if I told anyone about it he was going to kill me, he threatened me with death.”
Preliminary information suggests the security guards recorded the video themselves.
The incident reportedly happened in July but the victim, who has reportedly lived on the streets since he was 12 years old, did not file a police complaint until recently.
An investigation into “torture” was launched and two security guards who worked at the shop have been identified by the police and named in reports as Waldir Bispo dos Santos and Davi de Oliveira Fernandes. It is unclear if any arrests have been made.
The victim’s brother told reporters that he had not spoken to his sibling for five years but after learning of the case he has taken him in to live with him. He added: “He’s not going back to that place, because I’m sure if he goes back there he is going to disappear.”
The supermarket have confirmed the two security guards “no longer provide a service for the supermarket” and said they have made a social worker available to provide support for the victim.
The crime of torture can be punished by prison sentences of between two and eight years in Brazil. The investigation is ongoing.
I hope the abusers get exactly what they dished out, but 100% more
They said if I spoke to anyone, they would kill me.
