Thank you for the clarification, I see that now. What I also see from further research is that he and his family were taken by force and have not been seen publicly since. Whether or not that would be technically considered kidnapping or abduction feels like splitting hairs.
I never said it wasn’t kidnapping or wasn’t wrong i just think there is nuance if he is really living as an ordinary citizen because i don’t support forcing a six year old to become a religious figure, disallowed friends or any semblance of a normal childhood and forced to take lifelong vows of poverty and chastity which is what the Pachen Lama would do even if they gain political and religious power by doing so despite supporting religious freedom i don’t think allowing that is part of it when it involves a child.
His parents were relocated with him.

There is no proof of life except word from xinnie the poo that the child is alive, they refuse to allow any external orgs to verify if it is true.
