The family of Yasin, a 5-year-old child who was abused by a 79-year-old man at a private school in the Egyptian province of Beheira, has filed a new complaint against the school's director and several teachers. The complaint, filed by Yasin's lawyer, Dr. Ayman Attallah, accuses them of negligence and forgery. The allegations are based on the Child Law No. 12 of 1996.
According to Dr. Attallah, the new complaint does not relate to the previous case, but rather focuses on the negligence that led to the abuse of Yasin. The complaint targets the school's director, who is accused of moral forgery, and several teachers and the school's "nanny," who are accused of negligence. The lawyer emphasized that his client's family is seeking to hold all responsible parties accountable.
The investigation into the new allegations is being conducted by the public prosecutor's office in Damanhour. Dr. Attallah stated that the family's goal is to complete the investigation into all aspects of the case and to hold accountable those who are found responsible under the law. He also noted that Yasin's family is seeking compensation for the harm suffered by the child.
In a related development, the Court of Cassation issued a final verdict in June, upholding a 10-year prison sentence for the 79-year-old man who abused Yasin. The man was found guilty of sexually assaulting the child at the private school in Beheira. The case drew widespread attention and sparked public outrage.
Yasin's lawyer also revealed that his client's family is seeking compensation of 100 million Egyptian pounds for the harm suffered by the child. The compensation claim will be reviewed by the court, which will weigh the extent of the harm against the requested amount. Dr. Attallah noted that the abuse suffered by Yasin has had a lasting impact on the child.
The new investigation into the allegations of negligence and forgery against the school's staff is ongoing. Dr. Attallah stated that his client's family is cooperating fully with the authorities and is seeking to ensure that justice is served. The case has highlighted concerns about the safety and supervision of children in private schools in Egypt.
Yasin's case has sparked a national conversation about child protection and safety in Egypt. The authorities have faced criticism for their handling of the case, and there have been calls for greater accountability and transparency. The investigation into the allegations of negligence and forgery against the school's staff is expected to shed more light on the circumstances surrounding the abuse.
