Among these, a post titled ‘Even a 9-year-old child is completely against abolition’ also included a photo of a handwritten letter that appears to have been written by a child. On the outside of the letter, there was a picture of tears rolling down like an ocean.

In the letter, the child said, ‘Mr. and Mrs. from the broadcasting station. Capture the moment Don’t let something like this happen in your life.
