Okay, da boy shud be around 12 or 13 and he is da only son nd child of his parents. We are neighbours nd me nd dis boy has bcum so close dat he confides in me. One day he met me nd said* uncle, i dnt knw wat is wrong wit me, i dont lik girls but only boys nd there is dis boy dat i lik in my school but i dnt knw if he likes me too* immediately i plucked cane nd started beatin him, his parent came out nd i told dem wat happened, da parent continued da beatin. Later on Changed da boy skul nd blablabla but my conscience keeps biting me. I'll try n apologise to da kid today. Wat do u tink guys

U treated the ailment with the wrong prescription or dosage. You only owe him some explanation on your actions. So call him and tell him that it is wrong to have interest in same gender. But you can never get his confidence in you back. Weldone

Very wrong. Violence is not the answer. He is just a young boy.

Anybody who physically assaults a child is evil to me.

You don yawa the boy. I just hope his parents can handle this mater effectively sha. Anyhoe, you need to appologise to him and see how his parents treat him at home after the disclosure.

And we keep complaining about how "African parents" behave

What that boy needs is some guidiance not such brutality,if he did something wrong he deserves some kind of explanation!

I won't be surprised if d boy developed trust issues later in life...do u know d level of trust he had in u dat made him tell u his highest secret? something that he can't tell to his parents...yet u failed him...apologize to the kid then start counseling him

Wrong....
Two wrong can never make a right.





Giving him total correction with smart words would have been better.
Open his knowledge to the truth.


You took the wrong decision... The wrong time.
What if he done start? U go do kill am?

@Durent
has the beating solved the problem? NOPE
did you in anyway helped the kid? NOPE
will your actions make a difference in this person's life? NOPE
