The authorities assisted the minor, in addition to accompanying him to a health center so that he could receive the corresponding attention so that he could recover from the aggression.

This story reminds us of the time Ed Sheeran was in Liberia filming a documentary for Comic Relief in 2017 when he saw the awful conditions children were living in, in that country, reported SoShareThis.com on the 28th of March 2018.

He saw thousands of young boys living in the slums with no protection, no food, and no support from an adult. One particular group of homeless small boys caught his attention.
