Netizens Reaction

A user wrote, “Celibacy is a gift not all are graced with. He’s looking at him like a piece of chocolate cake. Very disturbing. Buddhism teaches wrongly that one can save themselves. You cannot. Turn to Christ today.” Another user wrote, “If it gives him pleasure and it has been enforced on this child – then it’s abuse.”
