Has the church addressed the video or explained what procedure was followed before the boy was publicly humiliated?

Even where an accusation is serious, public beating and humiliation can leave lasting harm, especially for a young person.

The allegation should still be properly verified; viral clips can be incomplete, but violence is not a substitute for due process.

Church leaders should preserve relevant evidence, report any theft allegation to the police, and ensure the boy has protection and support.
