"The fact that his hands were respectfully behind him while Aunty was forcefully hugging should calm you down at least. “Do unto others as you want others to do unto you.” So don’t worry, erhn! Someone will surely pay her back on your behalf😂."

dedeberry said

"Why are you blaming the girl? Whatever play or games u play with a child in private. The child will initiate the same play in public, no matter who is watching. They are on such terms. The man did not set boundaries. Why are you trying to set one for him?"
