Father beats son to death over exam results
BY A STAFF REPORTER
May 20, 2013
ABU DHABI: A 12-year-old boy died after his father beat him up because he failed the school exams.
On the day of the incident the suspect called his wife, who was not at home, to tell her that their son did not bring home his exam results and claimed that the school would distribute it the following morning.
When she got home, the mother saw her son crying as his father had beaten him up with a computer cable, which he used to punish the victim.
In the evening, the mother was surprised when the suspect hurried to bed and snatched their son, who was sleeping beside his mother. The father reportedly began beating up the victim with the cable again, asking him for the certificate but the child swore that he did not receive it.
The suspect did not believe his son and continued to beat him.
At dawn, the father began shouting at his son who woke up to be beaten up by the furious father again.
The screams and tears of the child failed to move the stone-hearted father who continued beating up his son until he fell unconscious, with his blood splattered on the floor of the room.
The mother hurried and carried her son to hospital with their maid's help. She told the authorities there that he fell dow, the same excuse she used every time the father beat up the boy.
When the mother was told that her son had died, she disclosed the truth. The police arrested the father who said that he did not want to kill his son but wanted to scare him to do his best at school.

Court orders retrial in case of girl "severely abused" by custodial dad, step (Abu Dhabi)
Notice that there isn't a word of explanation as to why this girl was in the custody of her UNNAMED DAD and the step, or where her real mother is. Notice that the media uses the word "parents" to describe the abusers.
But wait, that isn't unique to the middle eastern media is it? The US, Canadian, and Australian media pulls this all the time, too. What does that tell you? That in the west, we are now emulating the most reactionary elements on the globe when it comes to patriarchy on steroids?
This is an area of the world where women are threatened with being stoned to death for adultery, but two sh**s who "severely abuse" a little girl get 7 years. And the "parents" are appealing again! Got it.
I believe we've posted on this case before.

Court orders retrial in case of ‘severely abused’ girl

The Court of Cassation has ordered the retrial of a father and a stepmother who severely abused their nine-year-old daughter because they were tried without a lawyer.
The Abu Dhabi Criminal Court of First Instance found the two guilty of beating their daughter and convicted them of abuse and causing risk of death; the case drew wide attention and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, visited the girl in the hospital and spoke against child abuse.
The parents were sentenced to 10 years in prison in April last year. They appealed and, two months later, the Appellate Court reduced the sentence to seven years.
Both the prosecutors, who asked for the maximum sentence, and the parents appealed the verdict again. The Court of Cassation sent the case back to the appeal court because of procedural errors.
According to Ali al Abbadi, the parents’ lawyer, the court rejected the verdict because the lower courts never appointed a new lawyer for the parents – a requirement because they could be sentenced to life imprisonment.
The court also found that the family’s maid – who did not speak good Arabic – testified to police and prosecutors without a translator, he said.
The child was brought to Al Mafraq Hospital bleeding from cuts and suffering from burns and bruises in April 2009. The father told police and doctors that the girl had fallen off her bicycle, but a medical examination confirmed she had been “severely abused”.
Police found evidence the child had been beaten by her father and stepmother, who were subsequently arrested.
After the Appellate Court, the case could be referred to the Court of Cassation for a final verdict.
