How did they handle him?

In the video, the young man bears a guilty look as he is stripped, and many were shocked to see that he was a man and had no physical attributes of a woman.

"What? You are not a lady?"

A netizen who saw the video was shocked but also sympathised with the young boy, saying that his situation must have been dire for him to take the pain of dressing up as a girl daily, struggling to be who he?s not just to find a job or shelter.

The netizen opined that while he had committed a painful crime against his employers, he should not discard the circumstances that led him to take this decision and his only reason for doing this was just to survive.

"The hardest part of being a working mother? It's not the early mornings, the meetings, or the constant juggling. It's handing over your whole world ? your children, your home to someone you barely know, and trusting that they'll care like you would," said a netizen.

"While we care about the girl child, we should not also forget young boys who are being completely neglected and left to themselves. It has become difficult for young boys to find shelter, home or new families so they they embrace crime in very difficult circumstances," she added.
