BUFFALO, N.Y. - A Somali woman covered her face and slumped forward, sobbing, as she testified about the last time she saw her 10-year-old son before his body was found gagged and beaten in the basement of their home. Her husband, the boy's stepfather, went on trial Monday for murder.
"He told me, 'Bye, Mom,'" Shukri Bile said through tears after walking prosecutor Thomas Finnerty through her final hour with her son, Abdifatah Mohamud. She last saw him on the afternoon of April 17, when she went by his bedroom to say goodbye on her way out to her cleaning job at an office building in downtown Buffalo, on the border with Canada.

That evening, Ali-Mohamed Mohamud stabbed the child known as Abdi with a kitchen knife, gagged him with a sock, duct-taped his mouth shut, bound his hands with an electrical cord and beat him nearly 70 times with a wooden rolling pin, at one point stopping to switch out socks because the boy had vomited, Assistant District Attorney John Feroleto said during opening statements in Mohamud's second-degree murder trial.
"Abdi ran away, I'm leaving," Mohamud told Bile when she returned from work late that night, the prosecutor said. Police responding to the mother's report of a missing child found him on the floor of the blood-spattered basement. The child's ribs were broken, his lungs and kidneys damaged and his fractured skull had been struck with enough force to separate it from the spinal column, Feroleto said.
Mohamud, who also is a native of Somalia, was arrested a short time later at The Buffalo News, where he worked as a security guard. He confessed to police, the prosecutor said.
Mohamud's attorney, Lana Tupchik, said Mohamud denies the accusations and urged jurors not to jump to conclusions.
"There can be no speculation in this criminal case until you hear all of the evidence, all of the rules, all of the law," Tupchik said as Mohamud, wearing slacks and a striped dress shirt, looked on.
Mohamud later dabbed his eyes as his wife, her head wrapped in a blue scarf, broke down again and again after being called among the trial's first witnesses.
"I don't want to see his face but I see him," she said when asked to point out her husband in the courtroom.
Abdi was born in a hospital in Uganda six days after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, and arrived in the United States with Bile and her four other children in February 2004, she said. The family had been in a Ugandan refugee camp after fleeing the genocide in Somalia that killed the oldest children's father, Bile said.
Bile's oldest son, 24-year-old Hussein Waris, testified that relatives believed Mohamud was a caring stepfather determined to see Abdi do well in school.
"Maybe I'll see him a scientist one day," Waris recalled a seemingly proud Mohamud saying about Abdi. Neither he nor his mother said they'd ever seen Mohamud abuse the child.
The first witness was a neighbour who described seeing Abdi running down the street the afternoon he died, his stepfather in pursuit. She pulled over and drove both of them home. She believed Mohamud when he explained that Abdi was trying to get out of doing his homework.
In the driveway, Abdi "kept saying 'I don't want to go home,'" said the neighbour, Olive Ndayishimiye. She said she knew Abdi had run away at least once before. Mohamud, she said, seemed "upset and tired" but not angry.
"When you dropped them off, did you have any idea what would happen inside that house?" Feroleto asked.
"No," Ndayishimiye said quietly.

I would like to talk about a sensitive issue today regarding abuses within the Somali community. Many Somalis like to believe that as Somalis, we’re good people because we’re “muslims”. The reality is, just as other communities have their perverts, and abusers we also have our fair share. It’s just not openly talked about in our communities. Especially in regards to children. I was inspired to write this blog because of a recent story that happened last night in New York (http://www.buffalonews.com/city/communities/east-side/article816245.ece <—-copy and paste this link to your url ) in which a Somali man killed his 10 year old step-son in cold blood. According to reports, the boy told many people in the Somali community that he was abusing him, and he didn't want to go back to the house. Many people didn't call the police or child protection….because from Somali culture, they thought he was just discipling the boy. This story made me cry, and was deeply sad. I was sad about the abuse this boy endured in his young life, he asked for help from the Somali community, but people didn't take the proper care to notify the police from my understanding. He told people "I don't want to go to him". He was scared for his life, and that devil monster ended up taking his life….which is with God now. I pray in gets what he deserves in jail and hell!!
Many other abuses are left unsaid. I heard cases where even teachers of Quran molest little Somali boys. Young girls are also molested, and who knows maybe no one believes them that their uncle is the one who is abusing them. The truth is the devil exists everywhere. It doesn't mean you're one religion, everyone is perfect! It's not true. Many American, Christians are better people than Somali Muslims. Good people exist everywhere. Bad people exist everywhere. When a child tells you they're being abused, you believe them. A child is pure, and innocent. Their hearts tell no lies. May Allah protect all our children from monsters.
I don't believe in spanking, or beating children to "discipline" them. I don't believe in yelling at children. Both things do nothing to make children better. Why is it that most Somali children are yelled at constantly, beat for not cleaning the house, cooking food? It doesn't make sense. Some children are even beat severely, yet no one in the community says anything because we all grew up being spanked and yelled at by our parents. It's considered "normal". Yet how is it normal when it leads a child, and teen to runaway from their houses? What are they running away from? Obviously the mental and physical abuse they face at home. Yet there are no programs in the Somali community to help with teen counseling, or safe houses for runaway teens who are being beat mercilessly in their houses. I just feel in our culture we never listen to children, it's also "shut up". "Doqonkaan" (dummy). There are of course good Somali parents, but the majority of the culture is very rough with kids. I think it's because we came from a rough country, where people were yelled at, beat to make them "straight" or "tough". You don't hear some parents praising their children, you only hear them yelling at them. How will that child become a better human being? How will that child's self-esteem be affected? It has a huge impact on their mental health. Another issue in our community is parents emotionally abusing their children. They might not feel it's emotional abuse, but it is. Emotional abuse is yelling constanting, and name calling. All these things affect the psychological development, and well-being of children. Nobody in Somalia thought about "mental health" , because everyone was so used to that. But, we're in a different culture now, it's a whole different life. We have to uplift our children, believe them when they say they're being abused. Also, know who you leave your children with. Alot of Somali parents, especially ones that grew up in Somalia say "there isn't such a thing as mental abuse". But, in fact there is. It's something that definitely exists in our communities, and we really need to educate people about them. Especially people with traditional views. Again, there are good and bad people everywhere, and that includes the Somali community.

No Isaaq would reply like that.
It ain't that hard to doxx people these days even from anonymous accounts.
Keep on posting bs about Somalia and don't get surprised when you're real identity gets posted online.
What was the point of this essay. You've stated nothing relevant, no action plans, just constant moaning like everyone else does.
Let me ask you this because I do mean well, what are you doing for YOUR community? Are you helping setting up programs in the masajids for families or community workshops? Are you spending your own free time helping out new families integrate into their new land? If you are doing so then good for you I commend you but if not then gerraaaraaahere mayneee.
This a classic example of slacktivism
You are the old headed type. we are in a new country. Time to adapt and change our ways.
I have nothing to hide. You dumb f*ck

I think its more common than people believe. Somali people are excellent in hiding their shame and misdeeds but their true talents lie in denial . I've never met such a stubborn group of people.

Abuse and neglect is rampant in our society perhaps not severe to the point of child murder like the case shown earlier (even though I've heard of similar incidences).Truly sad. Lakeen what do you expect from a society of people who have alarmingly high rates of mental illness (In fact, I think WHO was being to kind in giving Somalis 1/3. Rates are much higher imo) and refuse to seek treatment or even acknowledge this type of cuduur.
I personally think there needs to be more dialogue on child abuse. Lets go beyond the they gave birth to you and raised you excuse.
What are the childs rights? What are the parents right? What rights do they have over each other? Whats too far for a punishment? Whats an acceptable punishment? What do we do with parents who have gone too far? What do we do with parents who refuse to seek treatment for illnesses that directly affect the children? Will we continue to let this plague go on and on to future generations?
