Law enforcement agencies and streaming platform moderators are investigating an alleged physical altercation involving a minor during an online broadcast. The incident occurred on August 30 when a young content creator known as Gtwist was broadcasting live on Kick. Footage captured an adult male entering the room, appearing to grab the streamer around the neck, and pulling him backward before the transmission ended. The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office confirmed that deputies responded to multiple calls regarding the livestream and located the residence. Representatives for Kick stated that the account involved was banned while safety investigations proceed. Public reaction on social media remains split between concern for child welfare and skepticism regarding the authenticity of the broadcast. No formal criminal charges have been publicly announced by authorities as the inquiry continues.
