Little boy beaten brutally for stealing his masters money

It appears like the more efforts are made to preach
against child abuse, the more it increases.
Surprisingly, it seems the women have passed over
the baton of violence against children to the men.
Previously, most acts of child abuse were
perpetrated by women but recent reports show that
the men are beginning to take over. Could it be a
physical expression of the frustration brought about
by the current economic situation in the country?
Maybe. Here is the story of what a master did to his
house boy.
A Facebook user, Onyeka Mbaeze, gave a short
account of what happened yesterday, November 22,
in an unknown area of Lagos State with a horrible
picture of a young boy whose face was covered with
the blood dripping from his broken head. The boy
allegedly received a brutal beating from his master
for stealing his money which he (the boy) went to
school with.
I understand that it’s possible the young boy might
have stolen his master’s money before but was
pardoned. However, I doubt if the man who did this
would beat his own biological child to this extent if
he happened to have been the one who stole his
money. In fact, I’m sure he won’t want any outsider
to hear about it.
It is always very dangerous to dish out physical
punishment to a child in anger. Would there have
been any acceptable explanation for the man’s
action if the kid had died? Is there any adult who
would claim he never stole anything as a child? Of
course not!
Don’t get me wrong, stealing is very wrong but there
are other correctional punishments that will make a
child realise his action was wrong other than a grown
man testing the efficacy of his muscles on a little
defenceless boy who will only end up becoming
hardened by the pains of the punishment.
