Investigators noted that he was working as a helper in the area, though his financial struggles might have led to the theft.

Despite the situation, the stroller’s owner opted not to pursue legal action against the suspect.

Given that the individual is a minor, local authorities have turned him over to the Davao City Social Welfare and Development Office for proper intervention and support.

Cases involving minors committing petty crimes often highlight the deeper issue of poverty and lack of access to basic necessities.

While the law takes its course, social welfare agencies play a crucial role in ensuring that young offenders receive the guidance and assistance they need to avoid similar situations in the future.

News, photos or videos that arouse the interest of netizens would often go viral on social media, due to the attention netizens give them. These viral posts appeal to the emotions of netizens, and in rare cases, such could also happen to ordinary people, making them very relatable just about with everyone.
