Accordingly, in the offer, it would be a "bad buy," the "copy is unfortunately from China", "was absolutely inferior", an "oil change" is recommended. According to the Munich "Abendzeitung" this was another escalation stage of a longer bullying. The affected 14-year-old is said to have been previously harassed in the schoolyard.
A woman had already encountered the ad in early January and had informed the police. Officials of the Department of Human Trafficking identified. When they found out who was behind the ad, the District Court of Munich issued a search warrant.
In May, forces searched the 15-year-old's home where he lives with his parents. The boy said that it was a "rough fun boredom", as the police said. In the boy's room, the police also found a so-called soft nunchaku, a weapon also known as choking wood.
According to police, the 15-year-old is now responsible before the juvenile court for defamation.
