I do feel sorry for the kid, at that very young age she needs to suffer from that kind of trauma but the man who is in the picture was not the one who did it. He was falsely accused and we should fight to find the true culprit on who really did that to the kid. All the evidence are already submitted and it proves that he is innocent.
Ms Shine,
You seem confident the man appered on the picture is falsely accused. How do you know ?
Cause I personally know the guy. He is not the type of guy who will assult a kid.
I have credible sources. If you want to dig deeper into this, do your field research. Look at both sides, investigate, follow trails, ask relevant questions…in the end, we all want justice for the little girl and the wrongly accused.
this is a shalow accusement to the man, if the kid was rape during that time, she might cry if she feel hurt and the moment they send the kid, the other teacher might observer different action of the kid such as how she walks during that time, is the kid feel hurt or still active in playing while waiting for the parents to come etc..you shoul conduct a right investigation. do he have assistant teacher, where is the bathroom located, did u save the semen?if yes,why u dont get a dna test with the accused man and the father of the kid…do also a psychology test if the accused man have a problem in his sex desire. they must put the kid into the childrens wellfare for a while, the parents might brain wash her. question also his co~teacher if how the accused man behave in thier school..etc..
