The mother further explained that the young boy switched from crying to laughter after his grandmother who was also present tried comforting him by singing a funny song.

According to Rosina, his mother, the video was not intended to leave their house. She confessed that she did not know what to do the first day she watched the video, and if she had found the person who leaked the footage that day, she would have made it a police case. She added that she believed it was a video the boy's uncle recorded to deliver to his father.
He couldn’t send it, and it stayed on the phone. But his uncle sold the phone, and the person who bought it got access to the video. His friend transferred it and released it.
