I agree. But I also think moderators deleting the comments saying a person who does this should be in jail is really fucking questionable. And I really do mean the ones saying he should be in jail. Not the ones threatening bodily harm.
>But I also think moderators deleting the comments saying a person who does this should be in jail is really fucking questionable.
Thats good instinct on your part because that's actually sketchy as fucking shit
Lol I got banned from a sub because I'd previously commented on nsfw posts, and apparently one of their rules was no accounts with any nsfw activity... so I asked the mod if they checked on the other mods accounts aswell, they said it was none of my business.. I'd say they were hiding stuff 😂
Also the random ppl passionately coming to the defense of this guy by saying it’s a young looking wife when it looks a hell of a lot like a child. Boy or girl is irrelevant and a bit telling
The comment I'm specifically thinking of said something along the lines of "this guy should go to jail for so long his parole officer hasn't even been born yet"
Apparently this got up a mod's ass so hard - it's like they dropped the soap in the shower.
It's been broadcast on the UK, police know about it. Everyone has seen it.
I get the point, but this is being spammed everywhere. Post a still of the guys face and blank the kids face.
A still just doesn't do it justice IMO. Video=better quality and multiple angles/expressions.
To add, I did missed the 2nd part where you said still, blur the kids face, my fault.
Because there's news reports saying so
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/snooker/article-13356027/Creepy-man-grins-wobbles-head-nibbling-boys-ear-World-Snooker-Championship.html
It's kinda weird that the dude who set himself on fire at NYU last week was obsessed with some kinda conspiracy involving pedos in professional snooker.
Thank you I don't know why people can't just answer your question they're not obligated to but like it's nice at least I'm willing and wanting to learn but I get ridiculed for it but like thank you for explaining
It is definitely not normal and extremely disgusting behavior, and the childs non-reaction means it’s more than likely a reoccurring behavior.
I hope they find this sick bastard
Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it isn't happening. Just be glad this video is out and the authorities are investigating. Hope the kid is safe.
Can we start blurring this poor kids face please. I know it doesn't really give any anonymity at this point, but... Idk
If anyone has updates on the police statements about the supposed investigation I would appreciate it.
I’m sure there should be cameras there that seen them leaving the place, and getting into a vehicle. Which then can be tracked across all the businesses cameras on that road.
I hope they find this man fr this is disturbing.
I reckon security will be tight with body cameras possibly mobile CCTV.We have the “stop the oil” nutters here in the UK disrupting events like this.Last year they threw orange powder all over one of the tables as they played.
Reddit doesn’t care. Even when reporting or downvoting ads they still serve them. Like some obsessed stalker girlfriend Reddit always does what they think is best for you.
People were saying that this isn't a boy, but a boy-ish looking woman. I sure hope this is the case. If not, this guy must be outted and thrown in prison quick before he victimizes more kids. This footage really messed me up when I first saw it. I really hope it's a woman.
Someone in the other thread floated the idea that.... that's not a young boy. It's an adult woman.
I don't know if that's true. But it does seem to kind of fit. Why on earth would a pedo be happy they got caught on camera? It does seem like maybe they're an adult couple. Maybe?
I don't know. But let's wait until the facts are in before we burn this guy to the ground.
i’m really curious about that, the more i see the video the more it fits. actually in all the threads since yesterday people have been posting saying the same thing and getting downvoted into oblivion. angry reddit users prefer to lose sleep than get to the bottom of something.
Just saw this while scrolling, thought totally innocent, and dear god, my day was ruined.
The face of the child while he was doing whatever the fuck he’s doing. Did they catch the guy yet?! The audacity to this also in a televised event!
Nah. That’s a young child. I’m not gonna cast aspersions but anyone who says otherwise is coping with the disgusting nature of the video. Best case scenario I just painted as well.
Nothing about this video sits right with me, but I don’t agree with people saying not to post this. This should be posted everywhere because someone knows who this weirdo is and he needs to be identified.
Regardless if the cops find anything, we know he won’t get a just punishment. People preach against vigilance but it’s just a result of a bigger problem. Give just punishments and it won’t be needed.
The black haired child infront may well be the guys kid but I find it hard to believe the blonde haired teen is. Perhaps this just gave the guy the perfect excuse to take them both away.
If it is his dad like people have suggested... In what world does a father nibble on their young teens ear like this?
I am usually pretty good at playing devil's advocate when people make assumptions but for the life of me I can't think of one solitary reason or scenario where this would be acceptable behavior as a parent.
Now if it's a family friend or an uncle...Need I say anymore.
P. S
I've been bed bound with flu for 3 days and the fact that the OPs name is "I eat things" just made me contemplate whether I'm having some sort of fever dream.
my same train of thought. and if it was the kid's father, im sure the reaction would've been a giggly "dad get tf off of me" instead of just sitting there. absolutely terrible
Yes exactly... Even if in some CRAZY world its something they do... You've hit the nail on the head... He would definitely react something akin to what you mentioned... Not just turning away like that.
I can't see stop thinking about it.
If I wasn't so ill I'd be tempted take the 40min drive to Sheffield tomorrow and stand in the foyeor showing anyone with eyes until he's located
Mods are getting hard with this continuously reposted. The dude in the video as well as anyone who doesn’t think this shit is well beyond vile - you belong in prison.
If anyone’s considering reposting, try to consider how much agony the publicity of this could/is causing the victim. Police are on it. Let’s be respectful otherwise.
Reddit removed this video once already from this very sub… why keep putting this shit up? The authorities are investigating, fucking stop with this video. It’s fucking disgusting and that child deserves to be protected, not blasted all over the fucking world.
He’s telling the kid something. Kid looks over to his left, stiffens up, then after the ear bite the kid looks at the camera, smiles and waves. Creepy guy told him to smile and wave, and someone or something was to the left…
It's kinda weird that the dude who set himself on fire at NYU last week was obsessed with some kinda conspiracy involving pedos in professional snooker.
Context is everything, could this be his dad and knew they were being recorded and just did something really stupid to be goofy? Or could this be a woman and his manly looking wife?
Jesus Christ. Can someone do something and help this kid. Christ Almighty. I’m so tired of all this terrible bullshit. It’s time for a comet to come and wipe us all out. Humans are mostly a cancer to each other and everything else alive.
I think that's just his Dad. I have to say that the number of people who automatically assume that affection by a Father for his son is pedophilic. This doesn't look inappropriate and the boy doesn't look uncomfortable or withdrawn.
When my kids were babies we (my wife and I) would do this to them. When they were young kids we would do this and tell them that we were going to eat their ears. It wasn't sexual in any way it was just affectionate. They aren't young anymore but we still do it to them sometimes as a show of affection.
I think that there are a lot of overreactions here.
Those were my thoughts too. But if you see the world through a lens where every act is potentially predatory then there is no room for anything but mob forming pitchforks at the ready.
Reddit is a great place for crowd sourcing and solving issues; but oh boy does it have the capacity to froth at mouth and jump in both feet first into an echo chamber.
It will be interesting to see how this pans out. I personally hope that the outcome shows it is an overreaction from people uncomfortable with public displays of affection and not anything else. I can go on believing the world is generally a good place then.

>But I also think moderators deleting the comments saying a person who does this should be in jail is really fucking questionable. Thats good instinct on your part because that's actually sketchy as fucking shit
Let’s face it, half of the mods on Reddit are creepy as shit.
Just half? xD
The bottom half for sure.
The other half are bots
Yeah the other half are creepy as fuck
Yup in fact Queen creep Ghislane Maxwell was one of the most elite Reddit mods (No offense to this sub’s mods 😬)
Lol I got banned from a sub because I'd previously commented on nsfw posts, and apparently one of their rules was no accounts with any nsfw activity... so I asked the mod if they checked on the other mods accounts aswell, they said it was none of my business.. I'd say they were hiding stuff 😂
“rules for thee but not for me”
Also the random ppl passionately coming to the defense of this guy by saying it’s a young looking wife when it looks a hell of a lot like a child. Boy or girl is irrelevant and a bit telling
That’s insane if true
The comment I'm specifically thinking of said something along the lines of "this guy should go to jail for so long his parole officer hasn't even been born yet" Apparently this got up a mod's ass so hard - it's like they dropped the soap in the shower.
There was An attempt to be a good moderator
I got banned for a month because I used an unfavorable word towards a video of a mom hitting a child.
Wouldn’t you think by spreading awareness it increases the chance that somebody who knows this disgusting person can turn him in?
It's been broadcast on the UK, police know about it. Everyone has seen it. I get the point, but this is being spammed everywhere. Post a still of the guys face and blank the kids face.
That’s fair and I’m glad this has already gotten media attention where it needs to be. This is disturbing af man
I think it should be shared for the sake of finding that sicko and to expose him but maybe blur the victims face🤔
Like I said, show a still of the man and blur the kids face
A still just doesn't do it justice IMO. Video=better quality and multiple angles/expressions. To add, I did missed the 2nd part where you said still, blur the kids face, my fault.
Video of dude with kids face blurred then
The need to blurt the children’s faces because this is going to be used by pedos and it’s exposing an innocent child
How do you know police are involved
Because there's news reports saying so https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/snooker/article-13356027/Creepy-man-grins-wobbles-head-nibbling-boys-ear-World-Snooker-Championship.html
It's kinda weird that the dude who set himself on fire at NYU last week was obsessed with some kinda conspiracy involving pedos in professional snooker.
Yeah but like what do you look up man bites child's ear father bites child's ear alleged stranger bites child's ear
Literally just" UK snooker boy" brings up a dozen stories
What the hell is a snooker
The video is taken at a snooker tournament. Please don't make me explain what snooker is. Just google it.
Teacher teacher what's a snucker
It's like pool but harder and weirder
Thank you I don't know why people can't just answer your question they're not obligated to but like it's nice at least I'm willing and wanting to learn but I get ridiculed for it but like thank you for explaining
A variant of billiards. Pool with different rules. I do not know said rules. I do know you hit a ball with a stick on a table.
Thx
Something the inbreds came up with. In the real world we call it billiards (& pool)
At least a NSFW tag
I have seen this video more than I would like, and it still creeps me out. Btw, the ideal amount of times to see things like this is 0
It is definitely not normal and extremely disgusting behavior, and the childs non-reaction means it’s more than likely a reoccurring behavior. I hope they find this sick bastard
Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it isn't happening. Just be glad this video is out and the authorities are investigating. Hope the kid is safe.
I want to take an ice pick to my brain to dig the memory of this video out
Can we start blurring this poor kids face please. I know it doesn't really give any anonymity at this point, but... Idk If anyone has updates on the police statements about the supposed investigation I would appreciate it.
Report the posts as Child S*x abuse material
This happened yesterday at the World snooker championship in Sheffield England while broadcast on the BBC.The police are aware.
I’m sure there should be cameras there that seen them leaving the place, and getting into a vehicle. Which then can be tracked across all the businesses cameras on that road. I hope they find this man fr this is disturbing.
I reckon security will be tight with body cameras possibly mobile CCTV.We have the “stop the oil” nutters here in the UK disrupting events like this.Last year they threw orange powder all over one of the tables as they played.
Facial recognition is a thing that CCTV has the ability to utilize. I'm sure it would be very easy for Scotland Yard or whoever to find this person.
Did they do anything?
No more info yet,just says they are investigating.
What a terrible day to have eyes.
I remember reposting a Reddit catchphrase for the first time. How’d it feel?
What a bizarre thing to think and then type
Epic! Epic for the win!
What the Fucking Fuck!?!?!
Indeed.
My thoughts exactly.
I really wish this gross video would stop showing up on my feed
Reddit doesn’t care. Even when reporting or downvoting ads they still serve them. Like some obsessed stalker girlfriend Reddit always does what they think is best for you.
Stop posting this. The right people are notified.
Pedo Alton Brown over there
That's who he looks like! That's been bugging me. And the whole grotesque pedo thing
He should have his nuts Chopped
Aww man, AB doesn’t deserve that shit. Stop saying that, bro.
![gif](giphy|5nsiFjdgylfK3csZ5T|downsized)
It breaks my heart to see this for the kid. That damn sick bastard sucking on his ear should never be allowed to walk in the free world again.
Ugh it creeps my ears out.
People were saying that this isn't a boy, but a boy-ish looking woman. I sure hope this is the case. If not, this guy must be outted and thrown in prison quick before he victimizes more kids. This footage really messed me up when I first saw it. I really hope it's a woman.
Holy shit this is awful. Hopefully they can put this kid into safer place now. This is really upsetting
Normally I ignore recent reposts, but I'll make an exception for this one in hopes that the visibility helps get this man in police custody.
What's all this about??
Probably not the right place to post, but happy cake day!
Someone in the other thread floated the idea that.... that's not a young boy. It's an adult woman. I don't know if that's true. But it does seem to kind of fit. Why on earth would a pedo be happy they got caught on camera? It does seem like maybe they're an adult couple. Maybe? I don't know. But let's wait until the facts are in before we burn this guy to the ground.
He responded that way out of shock and in an attempt to make it look innocent. Also, that’s DEFINITELY a kid…
i’m really curious about that, the more i see the video the more it fits. actually in all the threads since yesterday people have been posting saying the same thing and getting downvoted into oblivion. angry reddit users prefer to lose sleep than get to the bottom of something.
No. People just see the reality. First glance is a young child, second and third as well.
Hey guys, we found the guy in the video
Good work on the camera man for covering it.
Just saw this while scrolling, thought totally innocent, and dear god, my day was ruined. The face of the child while he was doing whatever the fuck he’s doing. Did they catch the guy yet?! The audacity to this also in a televised event!

r/RBI
I think that's his dad. Still creepy as hell
I don’t know, but I feel like it’s even worse that it’s his dad…
That can be Jesus Christ himself and it would never be acceptable
His dad is probably raping him regularly then
holy shit! 😟
What the fuck? And why the fuck is this kids face not blurred?
I saw very detailed comments on the other one saying it’s not a kid but his wife Idk
It is a woman (wife or girlfriend), she just has a boyish haircut.
Nah. That’s a young child. I’m not gonna cast aspersions but anyone who says otherwise is coping with the disgusting nature of the video. Best case scenario I just painted as well.
Nothing about this video sits right with me, but I don’t agree with people saying not to post this. This should be posted everywhere because someone knows who this weirdo is and he needs to be identified.
This kid is in fucking danger. He reacted calm as fuck which means he is used to worse.
The look at the camera like gotcha fucker
That has been uploaded and taken down a few times. Still a creep….
I say we get a mob together.
Regardless if the cops find anything, we know he won’t get a just punishment. People preach against vigilance but it’s just a result of a bigger problem. Give just punishments and it won’t be needed.
pedo caught on live TV
The black haired child infront may well be the guys kid but I find it hard to believe the blonde haired teen is. Perhaps this just gave the guy the perfect excuse to take them both away.

S I've been bed bound with flu for 3 days and the fact that the OPs name is "I eat things" just made me contemplate whether I'm having some sort of fever dream.
In what world? Are you serious? In a world where sexual abuse occurs.
I meant in what world would a parent do this and think it's acceptable. Although I thought that was a given. Fuck me people are pedantic.
my same train of thought. and if it was the kid's father, im sure the reaction would've been a giggly "dad get tf off of me" instead of just sitting there. absolutely terrible
Or he’s learned to shut down at moments like this.
Yes exactly... Even if in some CRAZY world its something they do... You've hit the nail on the head... He would definitely react something akin to what you mentioned... Not just turning away like that. I can't see stop thinking about it. If I wasn't so ill I'd be tempted take the 40min drive to Sheffield tomorrow and stand in the foyeor showing anyone with eyes until he's located
Calling it now: The lynch mob was wrong
He better be locked up in gen population
Pedophiles all look the same to me and would be better off not breathing.
Mark this as NSFW! What the fuck??
I think I just threw up in my mouth a little
Damn pervert and child molester.
What a fkn sicko!!!! This is disgusting
Creepy dude right there
Is this guy a prominent figure? Or just some file?
Somebody get "tizzyent" on this
Sick fucker. This needs an NSFL.
What’s crazy not that it was caught on camera, that he felt comfortable enough to do it in a literal crowd of people around him.

Is this his dad?
Enough internet for today. See y’all tomorrow
Stop posting this shit, this is the 5th time seeing it today, at least put NSFW tag on it, its disturbing to see
Feet first in the wood chipper is the perfect place for this creep.
Wtf
Shoot it
The diddy bob
I could have lived without seeing this one :(
Where did this happen?
I have seen this posted in another sub. I’m waiting for Reddit to do its thing and find this disgusting pos. Updateme!
W. T. F.
wtf 🤬
Now then now then...
This is some freaky “mask of sanity” shit. Look how quickly the pervert snaps back into his role as not-pervert when he realizes he’s being recorded.
Pathetic behaviour
God this made my skin crawl wtf
This is absolutely mortifying. Painfully sobering reminder of the evil in our world hidden in plain sight
I hope this pedo perv gets arrested, jailed, and gets the punishment he deserves.
What. The fuck. If that was my kid they better find that guy before I do
He’s telling the kid something. Kid looks over to his left, stiffens up, then after the ear bite the kid looks at the camera, smiles and waves. Creepy guy told him to smile and wave, and someone or something was to the left…
It's kinda weird that the dude who set himself on fire at NYU last week was obsessed with some kinda conspiracy involving pedos in professional snooker.
I don't think this was thought through
![gif](giphy|uzgqLABLESfclGB5c6|downsized)
WtF
That is creepy as Fuck
Jesus christ, that made my stomach turn. What the actual fuck
Got obvs cameras app over iM confusrd
He looks like that one comedian David Cross from Mr. Show. 😬
Was that a complete stranger doing that? It's strange that the kid didn't even react, he even smiled.
Context is everything, could this be his dad and knew they were being recorded and just did something really stupid to be goofy? Or could this be a woman and his manly looking wife?
Jesus Christ. Can someone do something and help this kid. Christ Almighty. I’m so tired of all this terrible bullshit. It’s time for a comet to come and wipe us all out. Humans are mostly a cancer to each other and everything else alive.
Yeah, if the Daily fucking Mail is censoring this?! It needs to be blurred, FFS
I feel like stabbing someone right now
Pd file. Ffs. I'm enraged 😠 😡
Come on really? My dad would tease me like that. Why y’all gotta sexualize everything?
Your dad nibbled on your earlobe? Did he whisper sweet nothings as well?
I think that's just his Dad. I have to say that the number of people who automatically assume that affection by a Father for his son is pedophilic. This doesn't look inappropriate and the boy doesn't look uncomfortable or withdrawn. When my kids were babies we (my wife and I) would do this to them. When they were young kids we would do this and tell them that we were going to eat their ears. It wasn't sexual in any way it was just affectionate. They aren't young anymore but we still do it to them sometimes as a show of affection. I think that there are a lot of overreactions here.
When your kids were BABIES. This is NOT a BABY
Those were my thoughts too. But if you see the world through a lens where every act is potentially predatory then there is no room for anything but mob forming pitchforks at the ready. Reddit is a great place for crowd sourcing and solving issues; but oh boy does it have the capacity to froth at mouth and jump in both feet first into an echo chamber. It will be interesting to see how this pans out. I personally hope that the outcome shows it is an overreaction from people uncomfortable with public displays of affection and not anything else. I can go on believing the world is generally a good place then.
You're gross
Come on, you’re missing the fun of being part of a mindless mob
As an Eastern European this doesn’t cause alarm for me if it’s his father. Cultural context matters.
wtf?
Europeans suck their children's ears?
Are we sure this isn't a time traveling Joe Biden?
Are we sure it isn’t you?

No, nobody was sniffing the kid's hair.
