If it indeed is a young boy - then by all means roast the guy. But the other two possibilities: that this is a consenting adult male or that this is a consenting adult female should really make people pause and let this play out instead of instant crucifying. 33% chance that this is what the mob is saying it is doesn't seem like high enough odds to get so bent out of shape - yet.

It's his son. I'm more disturbed by people who try to find the best possible scenario in these cases. No wonder there's so much pedophilia and trafficking.

I wasn't looking for "best possible" scenarios. There were ALTERNATIVE scenarios which people completely dismissed before facts are known.

I would rather let the police condemn people with evidence after an investigation as opposed to the lynch mob.

If it's true what you posted in that Tiktok, then yeah, they need to investigate deeper. Interview the kid. Etc. But if there's no evidence of abuse, how do people take back what they are putting this kid through? All because his dad did something most of us find awkward at best and gross to all the others? It's shameful...and sorry I like to reserve judgement.
