Facebook picture that has sparked a police investigation: The authorities have asked members of the public who can identify the man in this picture to come forward to assist them in their investigation. The child's face is hidden to protect his identity.
According to the South Africa Sunday Times, which first reported the story, the search is now on for the person or persons responsible for the picture, for whoever created the user profile and for those who have seen the photograph but failed to report it.
Surprisingly, the photo was uploaded June 24, 2010, but went little noticed until now. It took more than a year to be spotted by authorities as none who saw the picture reported it or posted a comment condemning it.
Regardless of whether the picture is fake, "everyone party to the posting" and those who have viewed the image are under a potential prosecution threat, authorities said.
Human rights groups have expressed their concern for the child in the picture who could have been wounded or dead.
The director of Women + Men Against Child Abuse, Miranda Jordan, said she found it "incredibly disturbing" not knowing the child's fate.
"I couldn't believe what I was seeing ... this is sickening and disgusting. Is this child hurt? Is he dead? Who would take this kind of picture?" she said. "This hate image incites racism that almost all South Africans have fought so hard to eradicate."
Minister of Police Nathi Mthethwa's spokesman, Zweli Mnisi, said the minister has ordered an "immediate investigation" and called on the man in the picture - or anyone who recognized him - to come forward to assist in the probe.

if by terrorized, you mean murdered and raped....
That's what I was thinking.
What about the 40,000+ White men women and children who have been tortured, raped and murdered by blacks in South Africa since St. Nelson Mandela and his regime was given power in South Africa?
You know one of their favorite methods of murdering the White farmers is to take an electric iron and iron the skin off.
Oh but that’s not nearly as bad as a tasteless photo shopped picture.
O.M..G... LOLOLOLOL
The difference being that in a movie there’s no claim of reality.
Call me crazy, too. I think we were both expecting to see the same freaky thing.
Same here.
There is no story in that, right?
tried to read Ilana Mercer’s “Into the Cannibal’s Pot” and it was just to brutal - but then she is singing to the choir with me.
I know Portuguese people who talk about what happened to some of their citizens when the leftist government replaced their military government in the 1970s and abandoned the African colonies; I don’t think they’ve sent a penny to any African cause since.
The Zimbabwe farmers’ stories are the end of the final chapter in Rhodesia’s history, as a nation that once fed much of Africa has been reduced to paupers (to the point where they try to get INTO South Africa).
Africa still has gold, diamonds, and oil; the “blame whitey” crap rings hollow.
yep...that is a tropical caliber barrel
Would disagree..... The front swivel stud fr the sling would be recessed or on a barrel band or on the front of the forend of a tropical rifle to keep ones support hand from being injured by heavy recoil .....cut in two by a bullet mythical bs.
Maxine Waters incorporated posted this BS pic just as they will start burning black churches .....again...to get what they want furthering their racist agenda.
Sadly the brakes on their drive for equality have failed IMO.
....stay safe !

Lessons of the school of 375 H&H mag an .460 weatherby magnum.....:o)
