A Police investigation is now underway in relation to a video circulating on social media showing a group of youths allegedly role playing and assaulting a young boy in the bushes, tying him up and then burying him.

Serious concerns have been raised on this dangerous alleged role playing.

Assistant Commissioner of Police Crime, Mesake Waqa says a team is currently in Nabouwalu investigating the matter.

He says Police raise concerns on this video and an investigation will be carried out to establish the truth in this.

ACP Waqa says this is called observational learning, where children learn by watching others in any form.

He says children learn models around television and think that it is fun, but it creates anxiety to the members of the public.

ACP Waqa says parents are advised to talk to their children to refrain from doing such things.
