A resident later intervened and reported the incident to the local chief.
However, the abuser’s daughter later discovered the missing money in a wardrobe.
He had previously claimed the money was left on the table and accused the boy of taking it, justifying his abuse.
According to the assemblyman, the boy was taken to the hospital.
However, when pressed for details, he seemed uncertain about the actual medical care the boy received.
