Why were the boys in the cave?
It appears they were taking part in a kind of INITIATION RITUAL, according to one of the rescue team members.
The boys left their backpacks and shoes “before wading in and trying to go to the end of the tunnel, sort of like an initiation for local young boys to… write your name on the wall and make it back”, said Ben Reymenants. “A flash flood because of sudden heavy rain locked them in,” he added. ---
